If you are drilling holes in a fibergalss hood for a couple extra Dzus fasteners on a windy day at ATCO and have long hair........do not raise the drill near your head while it's still spooling down.

Unless a custom curl is the look you're after.

When welding the seat back adjustment stop on a 64 dodge, the wet towel on the carpet will protect the carpet, the horse hair padding under the seat not so much.
In the time it takes to turn around and grab the hose on the ground, your seat will be totally engulfed. Your wife will not be impressed. DAMHIK

The spark ignites the oil vapor inside the can, which propels the can first at the underside of the hood, it bounces off, then shoots away across the parking lot, leaving 3 people (me, the owner, and the station attendant) and the car sprayed with hot oil.

bahahahahahahha Made me laugh out loud. Now that was funny. I am Glad I didn't do that .

When you need to reposition the golf cart on the small 5x8 trailer in order to get more tongue weight, DO NOT stand between the trailer and the back of the Motor Home as your father attempts to back the golf cart up the ramps and onto the trailer.

He will overshoot the trailer and it will pin you between the golf cart and the rear of the MH.

A golf cart is not easy to move when the rear tires are hanging over the end and you're trapped between it and the MH.

Don't forget to unfold the ramp extensions on your enclosed trailer when unloading racecar by yourself.

When you tow 300 miles to a race, make positively sure you have enough gas in the tank to be able to run the full quarter mile, its hard to win a bracket race when you run out of gas about 1000 ft, don't ask me how I know

When you have your car sand blasted before paint make sure you blow out all of the frame rails before you take it to the track for its first launch !!! It looked like a dump truck with spreader chains on it, coated the track with sand from starting line to the eighth mile. Hence the user name...

I was there to witness, one hour track clean-up at Norwalk, they weren't happy. We blew it all out, or so we thought. They were even more pissed when it dumped again the 2nd pass. Duct tape on the rails is your friend.

If your fuel cell is mounted on the front of your car make sure you install the fill cap before stagging and launching the car. Those 14 inch slicks lose traction real fast when they run over race fuel.

When underneath the car welding in a new trunk pan, be sure to remove those precious and highly flammable interior items being stored inside the trunk. Don't ask me how I know.

Sorry it was a typo. I was glad I did not do that too along with all of the other dumb stuff I did as a kid working at a gas station.

Always remove the window glass when welding in a rust repair patch, or at least roll the window up. DAMHIK

Don't let your son or anybody else near your new 10K clear coat paint job on your Hot Rod with a can of Acetone in their hand.

IF you are welding muffler hangers to the bottom of the car, be sure the back seat is out and you can remove the black tar stuff that MOPAR used for seam sealer on 72 models before you start welding. It will catch fire and then the seat and then the rest of the interior all before you can get the water hose back on and pulled to the garage.
DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW.


Evidently, they used the same stuff in 70. I was using a torch to notch the frame rails for inboard spring hangers. I wonder if your back seat looked like mine. ozbbq


Damn I'm not the only one, back seat, rear quarter interior panel, paint on dog leg of the quarter panel. That was an expensive repair.


Ok

I could write a (small) book on DAMHIK, but here's one of my greatest hits:

DO NOT spray out a trans pan with parts cleaner too close to the gas water heater in the garage.

Took 2 weeks for my eyebrows to grow back...
