New owner 1972 Demon
No problems, found a great fab man in the area and after the snow melted my bf took the wheel, tied it to the back of his scooter and took it to get fixed.
We were driving again......... for 2 days.
Then the wheel fell off.
Best I can guess, the stock lug stems were a bit short for the centerline rims and the rear rims really needed the longer lug nuts. Add to that the trauma of a hard hit to a curb and the ends of the lug nuts stripped out. Looking close at them you could see that the stems were threading into the nuts less than 1/2".
The damage to the rear fender revealed something really interesting. The rusted up fender was mostly bondo. I kept the pieces that shattered off it. I'm going to use them to make a mosaic style picture frame for the picture of my car when it's finished.
