1) Never use a grinder without gloves and always wear safety glasses.
2) Always wear something inflammable when welding, catching your pants on fire hurts a lot. Note to others: knotted wire wheels + contact with ungloved hands = lots of blood loss, removal of nail and entire finger tip, and last but not pretty much complete and total loss of feeling with fingers. |

Block a wheel before you jack up the car.

Once the car is up on jackstands, give a medium-hard shake before you get nderneath it to be sure it's on there solidly. Also, if your jackstands use pins to set the height, be sure they're all the way through both sides of the jackstand before crawling underneath.
I'll also second that idea of keeping a jack or wood or blocks under some other part of the car as a last ditch safety item. I've just started on my new project, which is the restoration/updating of a 1975 GMC motorhome. You have no idea of how big and heavy that sucker is compared to the 914! Besides jackstands, you use dimensional lumber (6x6s and such) to keep that thing in the air! Anyone have a lift that can handle a 12000 lb, 26 foot vehicle? |
