After redoing the interior, removing the engine and front suspension and most of the rear suspension without incident the car managed to get some revenge on me today.
Let me say this, I'm not a pansy. I've taken more stitches in my hands alone(ussually after I finish whatever project I'm working on) to knit a sweater. I've cut my hand wide open with a clam knife...yes, those ARE dull. If lost a chunk of my thumb to a table saw. I've even been dumb enough to drill into my own nail in order to relieve the pressure buildup from squashing a finger. I have never felt this much pain over a stupid BOO-BOO in my life!
The rear caliper just won't come out easily so I tried some penetrating oil on the bolts and got out the breaker bar. That was good enough for one but the other had other ideas. The bar slipped off and I slammed my pinky(yes that little tiny finger). I ripped off a nice chunk of skin and cracked my nail in 3 places which I can know donate blood.
After exclaiming "That's gonna leave a mark!" I walked into the house telling the vette "OK, you win for today!"
...it may have won this round but I'll win the fight!
typing with one less finger,
