Blood everywhere. The degreaser felt good in deep wounds. That was a trip to the hospital. Took like 35 stitches to close up fingers.
The engine block, caught my heal going down the stairs while I was holding onto my Masi bare block. and instead of dropping the block, I tried to save the stairwell and put myself under it. One of the tranny ears went pretty far into stomach area. I was concerned I might of had some internal bleeding, but just came out of it with a horrendous bruise. Reluctantly went to Dr. the next day. Told me don't do that again... Yah think?
