Lying under the Datto grunter years ago with it just sitting on the jack, whilst I tack welded some mounts for the underbody guardplate, when I put down the idiot stick which arced against the hydraulic ram on the jack and put a hole in it, dropping the car on my chest.  i wasn't injured but I was pinned  and whilst trying to attract my mates attention my dog came in and started licking my face, and there was nothing I could do. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Ben Sent: Friday, 24 May 2002 3:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: War Stories heh bout my best was......i was working on my car in the driveway, had the rollerdoor up about 5ft...went out to my car, pulled something off it...walking back into the garage looking at whateva was in my hand....BANG, smacked my head straight into the door, knocked me flat on my back, woke up a few seconds later with a nasty lump on the front and back of my head....onyl thing i could do was laugh :) ----- Original Message ----- From: mark krawczuk To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 5:29 AM Subject: Re: War Stories i have one, i was putttting a 265 hemi  and  box in my  charger,  using a engine  frame , it had like a A fframe on each end joined  together at the tops with a pole. which u  hung a winch. , well one  of the frames  didnt have a bar to stop the legs spreding,  so i winch the engine up , and  had  my foot on the crossmember, next the legs spread , and the engine  and box drops , but stops about  1 mm above my foot.  could have smashed my foot.   also  had a bumper jack on a  hd holden ute, in the mud  , had a rear wheel off, doing some thing to the  rear brake drum  with my head in the wheel arch, , next the  jack slips  and the wheel arch  bashes  my head against the brake drum,  okay but my head hurt fior a while......   mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Alford To: Ozdat discussion list Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 3:58 PM Subject: War Stories Guys,   I just finished reading some 'war stories' from the site listed below. It prompted me to think of some of the stupid ways I have hurt myself while working on the Datsun. Including;   Nearly broke my arm after the stubborn bolt that I was trying to undo finally let go and my arm hit the crossmember.   Just wondering if anyone else has got any good 'war stories'. Check out the link below in any case, very funny. Tim (the owner of the site/car) races improved production with me - very good site to check out after you read his stories.   Have fun.   http://www.angelfire.com/extreme3/group3j/war_stories.html   Mark.   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
