Sounds like the wrong person did the wiring on it before the shop got their hands on it. Nothing surprises me anymore. Cool car and glad it's another one kept on the road.
Yup. Prior shop situations for sure. The wacky stuff I see coming from some other shops is amazing enough I seriously want to make a video just on weird stuff. It amazing.
I've spent my entire life in the Auto / Truck / Marine Shop and the one single common rule has always been YOU DO NOT WALK INTO A WORKING SHOP WEARING FLIP FLOPS.. PERIOD no no wait period .. your toes are your friends . I've seen a younger "Mechanic" drop a slippery brake caliper and then took the Ambulance ride to the hospital where they failed to reinstall his big toe we even had a guy across the shop doing a full exhaust system and using a torch when a Molten ball popped and landed directly between this guys foot and the top strap and melt down into his flesh so YES I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who wears flip flops into a working shop then try's to sue our insurance company when they get hurt .....Much like when I see guys wearing flip flops with a Standard shirt car . That is a 100% recipe for disaster just waiting to happen ..
True. Most of these small shops do little in the way of safety until insurance becomes involved. Well. At least insurance. I’ve been a safety mgr. I see bad stuff all the time. They have extremely good rationalizations for being lax on safety. Eventually they do tend to improve. When I watch Vice Grip Garage I see lots of bad stuff, just as an example of a small shop with big income, or so it seems. The shops are completely aware. All of the many shop owners I’ve recorded/talked to know. They figure it out the reality of importance eventually…. lol 😂
