As promised 4x4 conversion under way... new problem!

Hey guys great news, well sort of... I finally got my 96 F150 into the shop over the weekend to complete the 4x4 conversion. Well due to an unfortunate accident I will be laid up for a while. Monday afternoon I was pulling the transmission out when it decided to fall off the jack and bite one of my fingers off Which really pissed me off because now my plans of having it done by a certain date just went down the toilet. In a couple weeks I should be as good as new (almost) and back on the project. As promised their will be pics. Just a reminder to all you D.I.Y.ers be careful out there in the garage and never work alone! I was lucky to have one of my buddies out there to drive me to the ER!

Man That sucks, were you wearing gloves? Do you think it would have made a difference?
Hope you recover quickly.
