Well that was dumb...

Welding on my 71 Demon in about 1995. Trying to add metal where PO had cut clearance for slicks in front of rear tires very early in its life. Car cover on but pulled up halfway on door glass (windows rolled down).

Welding along, going well. Then I happen to see smoke billowing out from under car cover. Car was in rear of double deep garage so I sure didn't want to burn house down!! Pulled cover up and interior completely full of smoke. Opened door to see smoke coming out of back seat area. Turns out my welding on outside caught the jute on rear bench seat bottom on fire .

So I took a deep breath, held it, jumped in car to pull rear seat. Can't see a thing due to smoke but I know how to kick seat and get it out...but nope, not this time. Seat won't budge! Jump out to get a breath of air, jump back in, and literally rip bench bottom out (bent the wire frames). Hop out, take it outside, and douse the smoldering mess.

Fast forward to 2021 when car was nearing resto completion. Had to buy Legendary seat covers and rear side "doorpads" to fix my stupidity!

And I certainly have more stupidity acts i could share!!
