Don't let anyone ever tell you ...

that sixties era Mopars weren't well built.
I've got a 64 Polara convertible in the shop, and I'm replacing the quarters with rust free donor items.
So all the spot welds need to be drilled out.
It's a big job, getting thru those welds.
Along the lower rear behind the wheel, along the wheel opening, and the lower front at the rocker - 102 spot welds!
That's more welds than most newer cars have on their entire bodies!
My frickin' ears are ringing from the sound of the air drill.

 

[Da-ho]

Be careful of them ears-they are the only ones you have.Got earplugs? [smilie=e:

 

[restoman]

Yeah, had the plugs in, but that Snap On drill is awfully loud, and with that many welds ...
Can you say .... headache?

 

[Da-ho]

Yea-mines noisy too.But they sure have a lot of torque for a little thing.

that Snap On drill is awfully loud

Do they make a muffler kit for it? I had a Mac air wrench thats damn loud also and they had a muffler accessory for it.
It consisted of a thick woven fiber filter that installed over the exhaust port with a slotted washer to hold it in place,worked pretty good.

Nodda, I've got a good set of 'muffs, and I wear the plugs underneath.
Don't worry bud, I don't want to go deaf. Too many of my bodymen friends constantly saying "Huh?" convinced me to protect my hearing.
I laugh at the deaf guys in my shop sometimes. I make them wear hearing and face protection in the shop, but if I turn my back - off it comes. Guess they'll never learn.
Beeper, that drill did have a muffler - kind of a fiber thing - but it didn't last any time at all. Made it a little gutless as well.
