Funny thing about that type stuff. It works,until it doesn't. When it doesn't. No big deal as the welder is usually no longer around to worry about it. 
    Had a local shop, guy pulling a gas tank. He needed some light so he hung a drop light and kept working. Got tank loose. In a remarkably coordinated effort he managed to dump fuel from the tank and knock the drop light into the puddle at the same time!
   Picture, guy with gas dripping down his arms. Light bulb, poof, flames everywhere. 
   The guy spent months in a burn unit. The shop burned to the ground with a handful of customers and new cars inside. 

     Those of us working in area shops learned to pull gas tanks in the dark. 

   No one remembers all the times shit like this goes right. Screw up one time and burn the shop down and they never let you forget it!

Interesting, I grew up on a farm in southern minn, learned to drive @ 12, 
Grandfather had a tuddybegger with the bullet front and back, my brother 
bought a superhawk, cousin a Hudson Clipper, all farmers.

The clip does not surprise me.  On the farm, if you broke it, you fix it, 
learned to weld at 12 when I broke the plow They stood by me and made me fix 
it,,Redneck, well hell they motivated me to a PHD, and I still go back and 
learning country ways ,,each time I go home. Damn proud of their minds.
This brings up an interesting question of the philosophy of the list.  The 
country is now being tested and challanged on the original form of 
government.
Many state to me why AMC, they view it as a failure, I view AMC as a future 
that was not acccepted due to social pressures of acceptance, yes I was one 
, had the duster 340, 454 stingray, 63 Ford 401, much more.
The question asked, why,,I am a redneck,,,well educated,,but I am devoted to 
the preservation of the american dream of freedom, Amc and others worked 
toward it, some, motivations were not all based on the ethics, but money.

I must say, that I am so concerned of the loss of rights, I will take my
AMC'S  and proudly display them as hard working Redneck Ethics, out ofWI, 
built with pride.

By the way, I am still a crappy welder, rather sit on my bag of seeds and 
direct.
I close with  sincere passion of what WI did for America
Do not judge me, My statement is showing what redneck's built, that gas tank 
was a normal farm boy activity
