Broken legs from skiing and toes cut off with a chain saw go in Health and welfare  :evil:

Like I say... without pictures it didn't happen...
Are these commissioned or building for you?  oh and your friends... I don't have a street rod  :roll:... although I work on my neighbors mostly stock 32 5 window when it's broken... It's not bone stock, I think when the 32 v8 went bad they put a 36 in it... sometime in the 40's...

That's hard to bear, Jer!  :-o
Stainless, the wife broke her 5th metatarsal foot bone so I didn't have to use the chainsaw on her toes.
Yes Jer, she says she was break dancing!  lol8
First prognosis was a boot for 3 months but it's not healing so ortho specialist here we come!  :cry:
If I can get them to open it up I know JB Weld will do the trick!  :cheers:
So I'm doing double chores this winter!  :-P

Sounds like a grizzly injury Woody....Wish her my best. As an aside, Patti has had two broken bones in her life...I stepped on her foot and broke a toe..And I closed a car window on her finger.

Scout's honor....I know a guy who removed the chain brake on his saw because it got in his way.....Hit himself in the face...left a groove from chin to hairline...took out several teeth and left exposed brain!!! THEN?? Drove himself to the nearest hospital. He is o.k. now. Yes Robert...pics coming.
