Well I worked on SGT Ex Saturday...
I went to the JY to pick up a set of doors. Well, doors ain't cheap, so I decided to take advantage of a 50 bucks all you can carry at a local yard. I dunno if you guys know this, but these suckers are hella heavy when carrying them by the handle. I could only carry 2 and after that I said screw it! I did manage to get a bumper, hitch, speakers, AC controls, and an alternator for the red ranger
First we decided to change the driver door. When I was removing it, I dropped it... On my toe. The nail was ripped off and the toes are all bruised, but I should be back to normal soon. I tried driving the red truck yesterday. I can't push the clutch fast enough for normal driving, and I can't push the e-brake down, so still no luck there. Foot is still swollen enough to keep me from getting a shoe on. Hoping this weekend I can get back in Lil Red.
Enough blabber, here's some pics
New-to-Sarge door
Old door after being dropped. Busted the window too
This dent is from when the door hit my foot. I don't know how it didn't break anything....
And of course, my nasty ass toe

Flip flops and skater shoes are more comfy
Actually in the cooler months I wear my desert boots from the mc. When it's hot out, I always wore tennis shoes or flip flops (told I was a hippy) but that may change after this latest endeavor.

Hope you ain't throwing away the old doors. A 4 half door rig would really look badass

No matter the season, I'm wearing pants and steel toes when I work. I've had that happen before as well. Lesson learned for sure.

I though about making half doors out of them. We'll see.

used to do metal fab in basketball shorts and flip flops. after melting the shorts in the crotch area, I decided to go to jorts or khaki paints and skater shoes. This lasted all the way until now... Likely be khaki and low top steel toe shoes.

This is Sgt Ex way of getting back at you for what you did to him.
I hope you get to feeling better soon, also they make steel toe tennis shoes.
that is what I wear out in the garage when I'm out there.
