Default Keep getting shocked, wtf????
Car is up on jacks doing header swap...Battery is disconnected, alternator and starter removed, car is off in park and has been sitting for 2 days. Every time I touch the jack stands, or any part of the car thats metal I get a huge shock, like tazer style shock.
I am stumped...or maybe I'm just missing something?

Be very careful...others are right, a work light or extension cord must be cut and touching the frame of your car. Don't kill yourself...turn off the circuit breaker to wherever you are working and then find out what is going on.
