the wheel lip happened when they were mounting the new tires on it, I didn't notice until I got it home though.

The studs were a bit surprising, I figured that if they were going to go they'd go all at once not just bend like that. Guess it's time to get some rears to match the fronts

the same thing happened on the coupe layed all the studs over and then wheels didn't want to come off, pretty scarey stuff. definitly time for aftermarket wheels with shanked lugs or 5/8 drive studs. you know your a player now when you start bending s**t.

I saw a Mustang neatly shear-off all the lugs this past summer. We had to lift it onto the trailer.

Thats why Larry used to run both patterns (ford and chev) on that cammer powered thing of his. Amazing the force generated when you move 3K+ lbs that quickly isnt it...
