Playing with welder.

Well now that the Beast is sleeping for a while, I decided to get the welder out and start playing. This morning so far I have fixed one Hood hinge

, lost the spring

, and burned one hand ( right in the palm)

. Oh well, time for the second one, went and got gloves first though

The hood stays up without a stick now

. I found the other spring, got the second hinge fixed and it worked. Although I do think I need new springs. These seem to be a little weak and these are heavy hoods, I don't want to have to be looking up while I am working on the engine

Outstanding there John!

Just the other day I was welding with the MIG felt my leg burning. Next time I'll have to wear some jeans huh? I got a pair of real nice thick weliding gloves with the MIG but I bought 3 pairs (6) of almost as thick red leather/suede gloves at Harbor Frieght for $5.00 .

Isn't fixing stuff while having fun is almost the best feeling that a guy can have...

Yup!
It makes me feel very

manly

, especially when the wife brags to her friends how nice it is to have a husband thats mechanically inclined and actually knows how to do stuff!
Projects in and around the house are

cool
