Blood for the Cobra

I knew this car would take out it's price in blood. I have recently installed the steering column and cockpit aluminum along with the firewall. Have you noticed that the Whitby steering column is about the same color as powder coat silver? I bent down to get something out of the foot box and WHAMMO! right in the middle of the forehead. It took 3 hours for the bleeding to stop. At least no stitches but everyone at work wondered where my wife got the fruing pan. 2 days later it still hurts. BTW there is now a red rag permanently attached to the steering column.

Didn't draw blood, but almost knocked myself out polishing the aluminum panels. Had a panel on the work bench, was polishing away when I got too close to the cord, it proceeded to wrap around the polisher and pull itself out of the outlet. Caught the cord end right square in the forehead, buckled my knees for a second, before I realized what happened. From then on, instead of using an outlet on the workbench, I used an extension cord to the other end of the garage.
