I can not work with gloves. They drive me nuts.
My friend however, wears latex gloves everyday. When you do it for a living , you learn to adapt. He wears them to keep from absorbing all of that toxic crap into his skin. It also will dry your skin out causing it to split and crack.
When he quits work at the end of the day he is completely clean. I do not think I have ever seen him really dirty.

Next time I work on my brakes, I am opting for gloves. It took way too much Fast orange and other soaps, to get my hands clean.

not only that, but I managed to get the damn steering wheel covered in bearing grease... Hopefully I can avoid that next time haha

BLAH!!!!
my effin' spare tire carrier came off the truck today.
WHILE ON THE FREEWAY!

there is nothing left of it haha...

But, now I know for sure... there are no leaks from the gas tank, the sparks I was
making would have created one big spark. And flame. And kaboom. But thankfully that never happened

I was there from about 9:30 to 11:30. I need to go check the one on the westbank in N.O. It is twice the size of the one in Baton Rouge. There were quite a few 80 to86 trucks there.

Quick question.

Be cheap, get new transmission lines from the Junkyard, OR, spend the money for new lines, and the bending device, and go that route.
