Sorry to hear about the damage. I see you have a 9", I put arp studs in mine but cut them down 1" because they are so long.

Sorry about the bad news. I hope you get it all back together and better than before for next season.

I hate news like that.

Hey Ron, that really sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Glad your ok though. Any plans to try and rebuild that car or are you going to look for another?

Thanks everybody! I will be getting it fixed. Right now all I'm doing is getting it back on 4 wheels. A friend of mine stopped by and looked at it and the frame is bent behind the rear wheels. He said it isn't as bad as it looks. As far as body/paint, that will be in the future. I really can't afford to fix it at this moment so it will be sitting for a while.

Nice runs.

Sorry to see the damage from the stud failure.

What brand studs are they?
1/2?
