    I recieved these 3 pics from another group-econolines- goes to show what can happen = This owner just finished the complete restoration of this 38 plymouth. 1st test drive- see above of what did happen. The lugnuts all -5 came off the late model rear axle & they were all stripped out=no threads when nuts put on.

    Found it... I can be pretty smart SOME of the time, but I never studied for this test! And with a title like "check your nuts", how does a person resist looking at this one before "38 Plymouth"? lol

    could be that the person tightened up the front left handed threaded lug nuts on the front and went over to the newer right handed studs on the rear,,,,,
