A few years back I installed a 4" lift on my Bll. Got it all done in a day and a half. Went to test drive it to town (10 miles) about two miles from the house the driver side front tire came off at about 50 mph. I had forgotten to tighten down the lug nuts on that one tire. Luckily I had a spare rotor and lock out at the house. Felt pretty dumb. Needles to say I went back over every bolt.

I left the flexplate bolts loose after a near perfect engine swap. Started the engine and raspy rattling chattering. Pulled trans and thats where I am now. First time ever. Pissed.
