Default My side of the story

Ok now my side of the story, being Adams older bro and having done this swap in my 90 5.0 I am kinda overseeing the project I guess you could say. I was standing in front of the car with the hood up inspecting some previous work he had done while he was under the dash connecting all the plugs back up after installing the clutch pedals and stuff. It never crossed my mind about his airbag going off. I remembered that little beeping but didnt think anything about it. All the sudden I heard a loud (poof) as I would say, it sounde like a basketball or something exploded the way the air came out of it. All I could think of was that he had jsut blown his car up. Adam has had a BAD problem with just riggin (bad Adam) things up in his car. I had convinced him to fix all this while the dash was apart and I thought that is what he was working on. I stepped around the side of the car and he was stumbling like he was on a 4 day drunk. I asked him what was wrong and what happened and he couldn't eve stutter, his eyes were as big as dinner plates and there was so much SMOKE coming out of the car I could tell that the airbag went off. I never knew these things smoked but they do, this one did for about ten minutes. When he finally realized he wasnt dead he started to talk and hurt, his eye was all blood shot red the right side of his face looked red. I figured out what had happened then, I asked him again if he was ok. He said he was and just kinda stood there for a minute collecting his thoughts. He went in the house and came back in a minute and started right back in on the car. I told hinm at least he could go after market with a new Grant wheel or something its just a real crappy way to get a new wheel.

Hes ok now, still a little ear ringin but its gettin better. And the dash is all back toget her adn the pedals are installed, now all we gotta do is swap trannys, fun fun.
