i have been working on my buddys 53 chevy for a while, friday we got the brakes bled,
rear shock mounts done, trans cross member done (looked really good), throttle pedel
and cable installed and working good. I left and he was going to double check stuff and
take it for a drive sat. he called me sat after noon to tell me he lost the right rear wheel.
we didnt install the wheels they were installed by the guy he bought the car from. He
is ok but the car is tore up, i will know more tomorrow but even as picky as i am i didnt
ever check the wheels! I guess the point is not to trust that someone else tightened
the wheels, the wheels were steal the nuts looked seated but they werent! he thinks
they may have been metric nuts if we would have trqed them we would have found this out!!!
so check yer nuts it might save your car :o :o :o!!!!!!
