I'll start. Had a 1966 ford fairlane w/ automatic trans, and cheap headers. The shiffter on the column didn't shift the trans all the way into park. So I bought a hurst shifter, went to install shifter , instructions said to cut off or remove shift attachment lever from side of trans. so you could put there attach bracket onto the trans.
So I figured the quickest easiest way was a cutting torch, so I get under there at work with the cutting torch laying on my side cut off the shift attach bracket, it falls off hits I guess the header a piece of semi molten steel is knocked off , falls and a direct hit all the way down my ear canal.
Plus had to put out the slight fire on side of trans from transmission fluid & put out the torch. Before I could get out from under car & cuss like hell. That fucking shit hurt!
Never went to the Dr. I think the piece finally came out like ten years later!
