Almost finished welding in Engman kit. I have about 20 short stitch welds left. Ran into a glitch. 2 pieces of metal in my left eye. (I was wearing goggles, took them off to wipe sweat and a bunch of filings fell in my eye.) 3 hours in the ER and nice divot in my eye.

This looks like my last welding project.

It's hard to type with only 1 eye.

Bad news: no worky today

Good news: no worky today and good drugs.

You're not alone pal. I got rust or dirt in one eye on Thanksgiving day. Went to a "doc in the box" and they couldn't get it out. Missed work on Friday but it's still there. Just not as bad.

The good news is I finished pulling my engine out before the accident. Progress WAS made. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Tim, do not leave metal in your eye.
Critical to remove it asap. Organically active material in they eye is bad bad bad.

I checked mine this weekend. I also have a broken cable. I took a heat gun to it and after about 20-30 seconds (didn't want to melt it) it expanded like an accordion. I assume that to connect the cable correctly, you want to compress the flaps (the opposite of their default condition) and then connect the cable, getting out all the slack.


It's hard to rotate the flaps and tighten the bolt while making sure all the slack is out of the cable. Somehow, I managed it with only two hands. Only problem was, my thermostat looked almost completely expanded with temps in the 40's. I may need to replace that too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Your eye will grow over it and removing said problem is really painful. Ask me how I know. I did it with dirt and not metal; metal is much worse. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Well, this was a very busy weekend for me....

First, I painted my current project, by myself, in my own 'Redneck Paint Booth'...

Here it is just after finished painting, still in the booth...

Made a spindle out of a length of 10mm ΓΈ bright/silversteel for my bellcrank and mounted it.

On Saturday, I drove to work at 3am with the heater blasting, and drove home at 10am with the roof off, on a perfect spring day.

On Sunday, my shift changed, so I drove to work at 4pm with the roof off, and home again at 1am with the heater on.

I love this car!!!

Should have stayed home and worked on my car. Went to Glamis climbed up a dune
and went over the bars because of the razor back on the other side of it and jacked up my shoulder. Of coarse it happened on the first ride and had to spend the rest
of the time sitting and enduring the pain. Went to the doc this morning nothing broke so thats a good thing.

I installed two new rear wheel bearings, fixed my emergency brake cable, installed a new pair of 930 rotors up front, washed the car, test drove it, and threw it in the garage and put the car cover over it for the winter. It's nice to know everything is in good running order before putting it in storage for the winter. Perhaps I'll move to a warmer climate now that I'm taking an early retirement from Northwest Airlines. It would be nice to take the car out in mid January...if I lived in CA, NV, or FL!
