think you can replace the wheel stud, put a nut on it and bang with a sledge till it pops out the back. do the same thing to a donor stud at the wreckers. slip new one in from the back and tighten the wheel to seat it back in...

Yeah man thanks, seen a few little dents in the roof we missed, and the left hand arch that was rolled looks a bit funny should be able to fix it before paint, i put extra coats of primer on those spots so they should block out.
other than that came up good

auto-thane doesn't really get that orange peel look when its finished like most primers, more like a dry looking finish makes me feel like i'm not spraying it on heave enough even though i was bombing it on.

thats the good thing about primer. as long as you dont get solvent boil it really dosent matter how it goes on cause you can sand it off.....
