I was 17 and my 64 Barracuda was already my second car as I had pretty much trashed my 57 Fury, my first year of driving.
Had blown two transmissions and had to rebuild the motor after throwing a rod.
Bought some "mags" second hand for the Barracuda but didn't have the money for the deep reach lug nuts needed, so I made the short reach stock ones work.
Doing a "peel out" as we called it back then, the left rear wheel broke loose from the few threads that had caught with the standard lug nuts and caved in the lower part of the quarter panel while dropping the drum on the ground.
