Working on the TR6 that has turned into a frame of restoration. Had the frame hot tanked, rear differential mounts were broken. Welded up the cracks and made reinforcing plates. Didn’t think about having short sleeved shirt on while mig welding. Left arm looks like a burnt Thanksgiving turkey. Always wear the appropriate clothing. DUH!
 
both arms scarred from years of welding.
even though long sleeved covering, still the sparks and splatter burn there way through,
more evident in the summer (when we have one) and get a bit of a tan,
 
My dad sported a full and bushy beard, that was always trimmed to the length of his hood.
