The Motorized Creeper
 It's dangerous to leave a man to his own devices - especially if he is surrounded by tools and has a mind dead set on speed and fear. Dowie found himself in such a positi... To read the rest of this blog entry from The Garage Journal, click here. |

Cool, but I would not put any part of my body next to the fuel tank.

Re: The Motorized Creeper
If you hit the wrong thing at speed, the fuel tank ain't your only problem! We built a motorized drafting stool as a shop project in HS. It had a car battery and a modified starter motor. It was amazingly fast and totally uncontrollable!

Re: The Motorized Creeper
Too cool. I want one.
However, this dude needs some more protection. One unexpected divot in the road surface or a caster bearing seizes and his face is grinding directly on asphalt, and he's eating through a tube and talking to Oprah about how he recovered from a jaw transplant. I was raised in and around fast cars, dirt bikes and later, military hardware, and I've pushed the envelope way too far at times. However, from early on I was taught to wear effective safety gear and that safety gear has saved me from serious injury (the not funny....oh crap type of injury) on a few occasions. This dude, especially going face forward, just makes me cringe. That having been said....dude...I want one (building parts list in his head). Last edited by rustyfords; 10-08-2009 at 08:45 AM. |
