[@firstgenerationgarage2803]

[@williamg.rodeschin7811]

Nice! Happy Birthday too.

[@MrDmorgan52]

Great show, just a suggestion,go get one of those $2.00 spray can handles. Makes life much easier!

They also use those large saran wrap rolls in the warehouse industry to wrap pallets of items that are placed in trucks to prevent them from spilling over the place during shipment.

[@grimheathen]

We also use stretch wrap to wrap peoples cars for a good laugh.

[@reaperronin8898]

Yes... Happy Birthday.. 🎂 Very Nice Job on the wheel 👍,,,, but as you said, pulling the tire would make it So Much easier, for me anyway.... And you said BFG are still making raised white letters... ?

[@richardrose2457]

happy B day

[@ozzstars_cars]

BFG Radial T/A, I mounted and balanced shit loads of those back in the lates 80's.

[@AutoRestoMod]

They are still around. In fact, they are the last ones doing raised white letter non-LT radial tires (besides Coker Tire).

[@ozzstars_cars]

AutoRestoMod Car Restoration Modification they sure are the last of the RWL for a tire in that size range. Currently on the '77 Vette I have kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX6ykJJjlpWWqLc. Even my '93 Vette doesn't have RWL but I do like the old school look on the 60's, 70's, 80's sports cars.

[@AutoRestoMod]

Rock on!

[@2ndgendreamin779]

Honestly, $10 at my local tire shop for a demounting seems like a much better way to go. I've removed more then a few of these Z-28 wheels over the years, and you can get a fair amount of corrosion and rust pitting on the inner barrel, especially if the wheel hasn't gotten much use in years (they are 50+ years old in many cases now). I understand the temptation to take short cuts, but I always seem to end up being the guy who pays for the shortcuts taken by previous owners. Be thorough, do it properly, and it'll last another 50 years.

From 68 to 82 Corvettes had an 8'' wheel

[@AutoRestoMod]

15 inch diameter.

[@kevinkendall3122]

68 model still had the 15x7 if I'm not mistaken

[@jtrain100179]

[@AutoRestoMod]

Thanks! We had to be reminded...cus we're old...

[@willardarmbruster8111]

playing cards wedged all around instead of foil tape

[@AutoRestoMod]

I learned that one after we finished. It's in my list of things to do to paint a wheel.

[@bmt336]

And aluminum was still out there in 1970, Mercury had very bad result with the Radir wheel on the 1968 Cougar XR7-G.

[@alexmcnew9412]

What about a 91 camaro Z28 rs

[@AutoRestoMod]

OK.

[@Todd512]

Z28 emblem way off location on the fender….not even close

[@AutoRestoMod]

Well, it's not a Z/28 so we're going to fix that. The car seems to be either an RS or an RS/SS
