went to the first of 5 maturnity classes --- yeah terrifying fun !!
oh yeah .... i also machined the front rotors for the liberkee ( liberty = cherokee everywhere else ) & ordered a bunch of rear brake parts .... did you know you have to pull the axles to replace the p.brake shoes !?

Red tag, early Nova 2 dr ht, and it's an SS to boot.
How am I doing?
Pretty good, the blue one was a 66, totalled from the back :( , but the other one was an Acadian/Beaumont Severely T-Boned on the Drivers side, hit so hard the roof looks like a teepee.
It would be a Sport Deluxe with Z03 then. Any trim left on it?

waste of a day. put a tire on the rim but can't get it to seat on the rim. 225/75R15 on a 7" rally
I have had that happen to me and I sprayed a little (to much ) brake kleen inside the tire then lit with barbaque starter. Did it ever expand and seal. Scared the hell out of me. Not sure if I will ever do that again. Have you tried one of those ratchet load straps around the middle. Some times that expands the beeds against the side's while you put air in it.

EXperienced incredible frustration at work today. Didn't get much accomplished. Won't drive my car until the end of March. Am driving a 2009 F250 Super Duty that is so gutless, it wouldn't pull the skin off a 30 minute old custard. Watched snow fall. Drinking Rye and Coke! Hoping tomorrow is a better day! )
Will probably have to shovel 6" of snow off the driveway! it is miserable out there! i was hoping to go for a cruise this weekend to get some fuel stabilizer thru the system....
Silly question , but have you removed the valve core from the stem . you can get a lot more air to flow through if its removed
another trick is :
if you have a bicycle inner tube the same diameter of your rim put the tire on the rim & seat the bottom as best possible , now put the bike tube between the top tire seat & the rim seat . lubed liberally with dishsoap put a small amount of air in the inner tube 5-6Lbs tops . this should take up the space between the rim & the tire allowing a temporary seal. Now when you apply air to the valve stem on the rim it should seal & push the inner tube out , its not always successfull but its another option .

Well that a couple hours of my life i wont get back. did try the strap this morning. notta. finally the moons aligned 1/2 a bottle of soap then bingo one sore back. tires are on the front now. next i have to switch the rims on the back so i can roll the chassis around. good thing this is a hobby
Installed an air exchanger in the garage to work with the new heaters. Getting ready to install a windshiled rack to hold all the spare glass I have - lost too many good tinted windshields over the years by having them lying around in harm's way.

Complete, other than the teepee look. Unfortunatly, the car has been sold to someone, who needs all the trim.

I just looked at the size I had trouble with and it was 205 70 15 on 7 in ralley. I tried everything with that one also. Thats why I got desprite and used brake clean and barbaque lighter . Next time I will try propane or a stick of dynamite. LoL
(Fri-Sat) Still suffering with the worst cold (poor me) I went to Andrews, to install other snow on minivan.. Will put on the fronts next month I picked up used fibreglass lid for my S10 (grand daughters truck now)... Spent morning in bed got up and spent 4 hours "fixing" used fibreglass lid and installing washed out box and now am watching B-J the end
