Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window

There isn't anyone here who hasn't had a duh moment Dan.

How about the time MANY years ago I was putting an engine and trans in my 67 Firebird. Mid-way thru building the engine I bought some new wheels and tires for the car, of course I had to put them on right away so I could admire them. Back to the engine, eventually a few days later it's all buttoned up installed in the car, cam broken in, everything checks out great. It's 9:00 at night "let's take it for a little rip" I tell my buddy who helped me finish it up. So off we go down the block checking it out "hey this goes pretty good, strong torque!" all of a sudden what's that weird noise and vibration? Pull over, the wheels were almost ready to fall off. Lug nuts had only been tightened finger tight! DUH! RAN 3 blocks home and back to the car with a LUG WRENCH. I've never forgotten that lesson....
