The only thing that i would've done differently is i would've used delrin mounts for the undertray. I don't like welding on tube chassis and i'd try to avoid it as much as possible because each weld done, is a change to the structure. I mean, sure, ultimately a car crashed is a car crashed, but that's just my opinion. Besides, it's not like you don't have the CNC, so cutting delrin mounts would've been easy. AND BEFORE anyone says that it wouldn't hold, that's how they did it back in the groupe B days. Blocks of delrin with metal clamps on top that grabbed various non structure vital elements.

When I was building molds for a living, I hardly ever wore gloves but for welding (which I usually left to professionals), for hardening something in the oven or sometimes on the lathe or drill, when it produced long turnings (cleaning them away with a hook, I did not want them to cut my skin) and when handling sheet metal with sharp edges. Usually bare hands are what's best, if you want to clean away any residual dust, small chips from the metal parts itself, the vice or the magnet plate of your machine, so you've got clean, level surfaces to hold something as precisely as possible. So I'd clean something with compressed air, dry the rest with a rug, burr ridges with a stone or a file and wipe the grit off with my bare hands. Basically I just wore gloves, when I had to handle sharp edges and hot stuff.

I've always gone by the rule of never using gloves with a stationary tool, especially if you're moving the part by hand, but gloves are fine with handheld tools where your fingers never come close to a moving blade. I learned this in woodshop when I was a child, and I'm always surprised it's not common knowledge, as it seems like safety 101 no matter what material working field you belong to.

[@regjoe30]

I've been a CNC machinist for over 20 years, and wear nitrile gloves every day. You don't lose any dexterity, it adds another layer of skin, and actually gives a better grip on coolant soaked materials. The best part is, if it gets caught in something spinning it just rips away. You should try it.

When to wear gloves. I've been a CNC machinist for over 20 years, which ends up including all sorts of other fabrication. I ALWAYS wear a pair of sung fitting nitrile gloves when working with metal. They don't mess with dexterity, and offer you an extra layer of "skin". More cut resistant than your own skin. It's a game changer. I know these aren't the type of gloves you were referring to, but will make a huge difference when handling sharp metal, especially wet sharp metal.

[@mistafishman]

When I worked at a factory for summer work, I used gloves when I was running pieces through a deburring machine or had larger random pieces that needed work. For the most part, I did not use gloves because I would be working on a stack of 400-1,200 pieces at a time where they were all the same shape an I knew what it would feel like holding so I knew the best places to hold the metal. I held it so it sat in my hands using it's weight, preferably, I wouldn't have to grip the sheet too tightly. If you feel like you need to grip it tight it's more likely that it will slip and cut you (especially if the rust preventative oil is still on it) and I've been cut through gloves. Using your hands you have more dexterity ( good during hydraulic press and lathe work) and I think the most important part is knowing the piece you're working with. That's my 2 cents anyways. Love seeing the progress on the vehicle!

As a metal framer wearing gloves is paramount to a relaxed working shift. Last thing you need is some cuts, scrapes and gouges constantly reminding you as you're focusing on work. As a drywaller you don't need gloves you just need calluses. The sheetrock isn't hard enough to be bad to your hands, you get used to the dryness and you need the extra dexterity for cuts/screws. In my opinion as a mechanic you should be wearing gloves most of the time aside from finicky work with a sharpie, etc. Heck even on the bandsaw it's entirely possible for the blade to turn into shard propellant so wearing gloves can mitigate that issue immensely. Had an experience one time in shop class with wood splinters shooting into a classmate's thumb. Wear your gloves, they help you work faster! Better yet buy the most skin tight ones you can find that eventually form to your fingers that have the latex covering on the palm of hand. The literal best pair of gloves I ever bought happened to be at a gas station (they were kinda blue if I remember? Wish I did cuz I need more). They were so perfect it was like a second skin and my hands could do anything with ease and had no problem bashing them around. Washing machine safe as well! Those leather gloves you were wearing are literally for cold weather my man.

To connect the bottom of the body to the flat panels you should see if you can make use of Zeus tabs which make for easy removal if you ever need to remove the panel.

I wear Latex/Nitril gloves all time for everything in the garage. Doesn´t help that much against scraches but against all toxic things(brake cleaner, oil, dot 3 etc ) , dirt and shavings from everything. Pro you have the best feeling of all for wrenching and you can´t get catchend with them in a drill or the angle grinder or in brushes For welding of course welding gloves even though i like them in the winter while working.
