Working on this car has been a blast !!! Till I broke a stud . #@#$$#$%^%^& But I was able to drill a hole in the broken area and start to open back to tap drill size so I can run a tap in & clean the rest out . It was the last stud to finish tork when it snapped . So I started on the other side and again I got to the last stud and this time I stripped the nut . !@#@#@$#$%% Never to old to learn . Look @ the nut , I am in no way talking bad about who ever used this type of nut but I will be replacing all 16 nut & washers with NOS .   |
