    Marty versus the hammer - Yep - I'm whining again
    « on: June 09, 2009 - 10:42:57 PM »
     :stomp: Okay- I removing the driver side quarter panel (I'm getting ready to put on a new fender well, trunk dropoff and quarter panel) and decide that a beating the hell out of it with a hammer is easier then drilling out the welds

    DON"T DO IT

    My thumb nail is now split horizonally and that MF'er HURTS!

    I have learned my leason....thank God all I have left is a door panel....

    I would post a pic of my damaged appendage - but I can't find the camera. good thing is the wife wasn't home to hear all the four letter words that I made up!  :villagers: :swear: :stomp:

    I know how that hurts for sure.  The hammer wins every time.  I hope you are feeling better.

    You probably used too small of a hammer..... BFH will get the job done...

    if not try a chain saw.     We'll get rid of that thumb problem one way or another.  :grinyes:

    Speaking of panels - here is the result of a day of cutting, hammering, swearing - more cutting and sanding, metal treating, etc to go -

    Yep, that ones gonna hurt for awhile.  I have smashed my thumb before, but never almost removed it with a hammer.   :grinno:

    Take care of you thumb and get yer quarter panel back on.

    The work is looking good.   Progress is always good.
