Thanks guys, the damage to the car is very minimal for going 65mph on the freeway and losing a wheel. It can be fixed in less then a day, but it's the parts that will take time. I have been e-mailing Johnny at baer, and the distributor that sold me the rear end and everyone has been great so far. I pretty much know what happened, but won't say till the rear is pulled and figured out for sure. The only thing I worry about is the boyd coddington smoothie wheels, but since they have been sold off, the wheels have came in a lot faster then they used too, so this is good news. I will keep everyone informed over the next few days on what happens. But after this wild ride, it's time for a cage. Also time for a light weight motor. I'm done screwing around with custom made parts! It's time to really open the wallet.
Mike, that's too bad about your little incident. The last time I've seen that is when my cousin had bad wheels on his old K5 Blazer. He'd usually lose two at a time. It would most likely be something to do with either the wheels or the studs themselves. Maybe the lugs weren't all the way seated or something? Can't tell without looking though. Glad to see it's gonna get fixed though.
Ouch, I am really sorry Mike. I have been following your car for a while now, and I know how bad it is when you are just about finished, and something goes wrong. One step forward, two steps back. Sucks that you can't make the Pleasanton show either, I sent my dad up there specifically to look at your car and take pics. Oh well, I'm sure he will find some other cars to keep him busy. Good luck with the repairs, and look on the bright side, at least you were safe and there was minimal damage.
