an engine won't run right until you've bled your best blood on it...

Now that is some words of wisdom there!

Have you built up a tolerance for pain when you skin a knuckle??? Eventually you get used to it and keep working. You get to the point that it hurts more to clean it up than when you busted it open in the first place. Kinda like the "special forces" that are trained to ignore pain... :rambo:

I know some guys that rub the grease into their cuts.... :rambo:

He also used to say that an engine won't run right until you've bled your best blood on it... :violent1:

I have done that in the cold. .... one time I was changing a fuel pump on the side of the road and it was so cold I didn't know I had a cut till I saw blood...... seems like sharp edges underhood are sharper in the cold


Then it took another 10 minutes to get the car warm after it started.

Yep, when he built an engine and didn't bust a knuckle, he will bust one on purpose so he can bleed on it before it's fired up....

Thanks buddy! That car is a gem!

Last weekend in a strange way my woman and I was invited out to dinner with the head of Medical...the head Dr. a PA that was leaving and the Psych from work. They were all talking about the new cars they had just bought from a Subaru Forester to a Lexus. I was feeling really out classed until they asked what I drove! We spent the next half hour discussing my 1990 Chrysler Lebaron and 1975 Dart!

While you were on the couch or at dinner?
 
Well the wife made me a cup of coffee this morning, caramel machiato or some mess. This is how I feel about it. Lol

Warning course language

Darn George to much for my attention span right now! It is a good one, he is great.
 
At dinner! I sold the one Dr. an old dirt bike and now I am his friend. Hey Hops when are you going to the junk yard? Is it too late for a list?
 
whoa I cant watch that video here because of the language ....that is a no no in my parents house LOL.

but he is correct to a degree that regular coffee is hit and miss because usually it has some fancy flavor.

I never used to like coffee but I started drinking it this last year around thanksgiving. Sometimes I leave it on the table and drink it room temp or cold......tastes different at different temps for some reason

Exactly...

You are a true gear head when you feel the cuts more when washing your hands after working on the cars, than when you first get cut. You sometimes don't even realize that you're cut until you start washing your hands and the pain from the water hits you...

That's why I keep a stock of neosporine and band-aids around....

After the job is done, then it's time to slap on the band-aids...

I hated working on the 130's up on the wings in the winter. Everything was wind chilled!

I have a few Lebaron parts left from when I had to strip my dad's old one.

front and rear glass, and tail lights in case you need any of them let me know...

89 Lebaron GTC, turbo II, 5 speed. I hear that they were rare with the turbo II and 5 speed..

I'm keeping the engine and trans as a back up for my 85 Laser...

Or someone asks how I cut myself and I don't even know other than I was working on something.
 
Any one ever use the liquid glove lotion? We used it in the USAF and it is pretty good actually. I think plastic dip is the ticked though, also the bonus is when you take it off no more hairy knuckles!

If you want some sting, try some Dawn, Palmolive, or similar dish soap and HANG ON.... :color:

For some reason that stuff really stings when it hits a fresh cut... :violent1:
