My ProjecTee

[DonnyRay]

I took my radiator to Western Radiator to have a modification done (re-locate the water filler neck.) I couldn't close my hood.

Very cool looking. Will those hood-side blisters have lights in them?

I've been missing from this forum for approximately 3 weeks. The 3 weeks time was spent at U C Davis burn center. My 4 1/2" hand held grinder ignited the 2 shirts i was wearing. I was seriously burnt. my right arm , my arm pit and my pectoral (breast). I had to have skin grafts. The graft was taken from the front of my right leg. The area between the hip and the knee cap. I'm home now , still trying to heal. It's a very slow process. I am anxious to get back to my build. I had many real cool things happening with it when the accident happened. The medical staff at U C Davis burn center are very skilled and very caring. I was in great hands.

Wow! So sorry Donny Ray. Praying for your complete recovery.

Wow, sorry for your accident and wishing you full recovery.

Burns are nothing to fool with!! Take care, heal up and get back at it soon!

 

[Shane]

Praying for a speedy recovery

Sorry to hear about the horrific accident! I never knew that an angle grinder could do that. Hang in there. Healing takes a lot of time. You’ll be back at it in no time! Prayers coming your way.

I've used a 41/2" hand held grinder for more than 20 years. I was rudely awakened by a flame standing on my shirt. I didn't have enough room to drop & roll. i had to remove the burning clothes. That was one hell of a nightmare.

 

[Neshkoro]

Did the grinder burst into flames or did your shirt start on fire from the flying sparks of what you were grinding?

 

[DonnyRay]

The sparks ignited my 2 shirts. Be careful everybody when using a hand held grinder. The flappy disc also sprays sparks.

HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS CALLS IT A FLAP DISC.

 

[DonnyRay]

THESE DISCS THROW OFF SPARKS JUST LIKE A GRINDING OR CUTTING DISC.

I took my gas tank to Dentoni's Welding to have some modifications done on 4-10 2025. So , now i wait. U.C,DAVIS burn center released me to return to work yesterday 4-14-25. I'm not physically ready until i have a full range of motion with my right arm. I was shown some exercises to accomplish full range of motion. I've been doing the exercises religiously.

Atta boy! Friends who've been thru similar injuries say that the PT people know their stuff, and doing the exercises is crucial. Keep it up!
