Very true but I have no welding to do up near the glass and there is not much (if any) flammable material left in the lower regions of the car. I almost thought I had burned something yesterday. I was pushing the wiring harness that goes through the rocker panel out of the way. Under the tape, there was only one of the four wires still holding and they were all black with the insulation burnt off. I'm guessing it had a major short at some time in the distant past. Probably explains the new wiring that was installed under the floor mats to the tail lights in the 1960s.
