    I started to build a fixture like the one Intrigue 98 used to mod his headers in doing so I put a philips screw driver bit into my hand. It kinda looks like an entrance wound if you can picture that. I was going to build and sell corrected down pipes for speed daddy headers I now think that is on the shelf for for a bit.

    P.S. I'll let you guys know when the first one is finished and probably give one away to let someone try it.

    Sweet hand piercing brah.

    But seriously, that sucks. I hope it heals up well. My only problem with my headers is the crossover freakin sucks, it leaks in the front and back.

    I'd %100 be interested in sending you my DP/rear manifold to have them corrected when you figure it out. Headers are STILL not on since I haven't had any time to figure out a jig yet.

    Pete...it's a little screw hole. Chamge your tampon and butch up a bit. Next time use the cordless drill to drive that baby into the bone and you'll be at the ER instead of posting about your boo boo.

    You want the actual jig? I'm pretty sure I know who has it.

    Can we get a picture of said wound? Part of me wants to feel bad for you and the other part of me wants to razz you about your cordless drill operation skills.

    Ok..maybe that first part isn't true...the second part is though. Hopefully you can laugh at this while you heal.

    Hey Bill I'll take some pics later. what do you think it would take for me to get my hands on said fixture or some plans to build it?
    I'm gonna have to have my buddy weld for me cause having 3/4" or so of screwdriver tip poking into your hand makes holding a torch kinda painfull

    I dropped a back plow on my fingers about 3 weeks ago. cut was deep enough to cut the nerves in my pinky and the finger next to it. It was like a fountain of blood pouring out of my hand. Still can't feel my pinky. And I refused all pain meds, I hhate taking things for pain. oh well, good luck .

    I dunno the issue.. wasn't even that big of a hole.

    This scratch was nearly three inches long and 3/4" deep.




    The next day..I was hauling branches from that Oct storm around all day. Stack, pull with quad, cut with chainsaw, stack in front for town to take. Ended up with a 8 foot high pile that spanned the whole front yard. Leg was a little sore the next day.
