Memory refresh... Where was it?
Body Shop Jail....
Your car looks OK to me. Not perfect but respectable. Paint and body work is a scam IMO. It goes in, never comes out...NOT without refinancing the house to pay for it! AND waiting years longer then told up front...That's what I thought.
Really hate seeing good money spent dragging cars around that should have been getting done. I was so glad mine worked out the way it did. Never could have happened without a lot of help though. Mostly Ray @halifaxhops letting me use his shop and helping. Also @rod7515 loaning his trailer and another friend dragging it back and forth. I sprayed it, so the entire job was a little more than the cost of the paint. Which was shopline PPG stuff, so not expensive at all. Is it perfect? Hell no, far from it. But if I had not pushed forward when I did, it might still be in primer.
I put some valve covers in our oven one time to cure the paint! OMG!! What a stink!!! My wife wanted to kill me!! Took a long time to get the smell out of the oven, last time I cleaned one....So, a couple a weeks ago I bought a can of Oven Cleaner....This morning I decided it was time...I don't remember it being that hard or taking that long.....Of course I never did one before.........
You missed the part where your supposed buy her a new oven and move the other one to the garage for that. Even then, I would probably make a cord long enough to drag the thing outside. LOL
So I did it again, but this time I removed the stem core while the car was still on it. Won't say it was EZ after that Tube fought me getting out, but its off. Cleaned up the wheel and sprayed a little cold galve on some rust. Tip of the can was fubared and dripped all over. But hey, I'm not at work, Right. LOL
I had a similar problem last week with mine, finally broke down and got a harbor freight tire changer for Lawn mower and atv tires, 30 minutes later, had both mounted and back on the mowerWorking on mower tires. Got one off. What a PITA! Couldn't break the bead. Even tried running the car up on it with a 4x4 and it still wasn't working. Found a youtube that said leave 5-7PSI in it. Did that and it worked. Drove off and it popped right back on WTF. It has a tube in it and that was enough to reseat it.
I did just that with one someone gave me. I put an axle and wheels on the back, and a 15ft cord. Can you say Powder Coat ?
Don’t have a big enough vise for that... I did try a big c-clamp. But no...
I hear ya. But I didn't break down...
It's been a long time since I changed any, so not really looking to buy anything special for doing them.
I figure with two lawn mowers needing new tires and two 4 wheelers due as well, it’ll pay for itself. I got the exact same tires ordered in for 45 bucks for the pair, local tire shop wanted 63 each plus 18 per tire to mount.I hear ya. But I didn't break down...
Got em done a little while ago. If it hadn't been for the tubes in them, I think that would have been a much easier job. I don't recall ever putting tubes in them. That mower was originally purchased by my father in law for the golf course. I think he may have had tubes put in from day one even though they are listed on the parts diagram as 'service item only'. He often requested upgrades on whatever he was getting as a condition of purchase and always had them deliver. Didn't think twice about sending stuff back if it wasn't what he asked for either. But he always paid cash and would go back to somebody every time if they kept him happy. And never go back if they didn't...
