You Gotta Be Tough If you\'re Gonna be Stupid - or stupid gearhead stories
I was 17 when I found a 65 Falcon 4dr powered by a factory 289. Cool. Rebuilt all four drum brakes. I was putting the springs back on the brakes with a needle nose pliers. Almost had it on when BAM !! As much as I looked around, I couldn't find a single person in the area who could've kicked me in the face. No, the pliers let go and put an approx 1/2" hole right through to my gums between bottom lip and chin. Nice clean cut though, bled just a bit and healed right up. Now when I see all those special tools for doing drum brakes I just kind of smile.
