Default Re: Model 'A' Boo Boo's or Oopsie Daisy's

Some of my Boo Boos I call "Idiot Dues!" Many moons ago I used bolts that were too long to mount a flywheel. They cracked the rear main bearing cap. My most recent "Idiot Dues" was pushing my Victoria well over 60 MPH on a highway, so the #4 rod went through the block. A few years ago I had wheels sand blasted & powder coated costing $100 each wheel. There is a crack at a lug nut hole I missed!
