I was checking the tire pressure in my 67 tires and spare today, and thought of something else that I should have checked a long time ago. The tires were new when I bought the car in 97, and have only been off the car once in 98 for a brake job. With the rusty old brake drums and all, I was wondering if the lug nuts would still come loose with a lug wrench since they have not been off in 5 years. I checked and all 20 lug nuts would not come loose even when stepping on the lug wrench. That would have been a major Pita if I had found this out on the road somewhere with a flat tire. I sprayed them all down with WD-40 for a soaking and will go back and try again later. Just something to think about that might save you a headache at the side of the road, so go out and check yours lug nuts today if you have not done so in a while. Bill Berckman
