I'll share a little somethin that happened to ME when I was a kid just startin out. We were finishin up some kinda work on about a 76 or 77 Ford Ranchero. You know how LONG those hoods are. If you don't google it. Anyway, "SOMEHOW" my dumbass ended up with my left hand stuck over the top of the driver's fender right at the back corner of the hood. Yup. You see what's comin. The other guy I was workin with yup.......closed the hood. With my hand in the back corner where the hood, fender and door all come together. I just stood there and said, "Hay Billy, How bout opening the hood real quick?" because I couldn't QUITE reach the hood release inside. He says "oh **** Rob! and ran around and opened the hood, but I had to wait till he ran BACK around to the front and opened it all the way because it was still stuck. Amazingly, it didn't break anything, but my hand was black and blue for a couple of weeks. Lemmie tell you son, that hurt like ALMIGHTY! TO this day, I WILL NOT put my hand over the fender on a vehicle while the hood is open.
