Blood, Sweat, and Tears
Well I got all my parts back from the machine shop today. I was progressing at lightspeed, getting right side suspension bolted together. Decided to cut some 2" sq. tubing in order to make a lower shock mount. I was using a die grinder with a cutoff wheel to cut off one side of the tubing when I screwed up. The die grinder grabbed and twisted in my hand and fell to the floor. I ended up with a lacerated and broken left pinky. The Doctor says it should be treated as a compound fracture, so I got a shot of anti-biotics in the ass, and a Tetanus in the arm. I think my ass hurts more than my finger. Hopefully I can still get this thing on its wheels this weekend.

At least the scars will remind you of building something cool. I have a big ugly scar on my index finger that reminds me of a piece of crap shed I built every time I look at my hand. You are doing great work, I can't wait to see the car come together.
