It has been a long day, this was the last of three lug nuts that got cross threaded. Thankfully all the bad studs are in wheel adapters and won't be re-used.

New wheels are on and I'm ready for Goodguys Pleasanton tomorrow!
If I had a buck for every time the last screw, bolt, nut, whatever, jacked me up when I was almost done.... hot rodding is God's way of teaching us patience.
