Never Tighten Oil Pan Bolts With The Flywheel Cover Off!!!!

We do stupid things sometimes..........Heck, I have a Doctorate.....don't do me much good around cars though........

I bought a 70 RR with a rusty trunk.......I grabbed hold of the loose floor on the right hand side with my left hand and wobbled it to see how bad it was.....it was bad........

The passenger leaf spring shackle was rotted so bad that the spring let go and came up through the car like a lightning bolt.......missed my skull by a micron.....I heard the noise and felt the breeze as it went by my temple......it caught my right arm, exactly over top of a main artery, and laid me open like a fresh caught mackerel........never touched the artery.........another millimeter and I would have bled out before anyone got to me, more than likely.

Really smart..............We get lucky sometimes........this was your time.....thank God. :toothy10:
