SA assembly (almost.) I ran into some trouble today with the after market lug (wheel studs.) They would not go in! I used every damn hammer in the shop. I finally gave up and tomorrow I have to pull some out of an 83 at the junk yard :bang:
This mornings overwhelming amount of crap to deal with and those damn wheel studs stalled a few things
