Sounds like you and I have the same rims, is yours a 29 model coupe also. Maybe all 29s have this rim? I am too new at this to know if they are factory or not. Take care Webss

Thanks Gary, I will not need a tire changer for this set of rims I have. They are made with a cam system that holds the split rim together, I used a pliers and screw driver to get it off the first time. We tried out Rusty's tire tool and it maybe would have been a little easier, with a one man job. Worked fine with two men helping. However, I am alone with the installation after I got the tube fixed. I found that using a 3/8 -  6 inch extention on the cam in turned back to a one man job, and a very easy one at that. I used the 3/8 end to fit on the cam, then the 6 inch length for the leverage.  I am sure a lot of you must have the same system on your cars?
Later,
Glenn

Yes, Thanks Rusty. I was keeping you in mind, you had mentioned there were posts on here that referred to changing tires. I couldn't find any of them, so I was trying to see what everyone else does to change their tires. I don't need to change it this week end, unless you want to practice with your tire changer, and we can see how it works. lol   I do have a heated garage. LOL It is only -3 degree right now. Heat wave........

Rusty,
I asked a very simular question on POC forum. I thought I was going to really catch hell at first, but one gent came back with taking 60 thousands off the head and 10 thousands off the block surface ( I don't know why not all 70 off the head) but these guys know a lot more about the old cars than I ever will I'm sure.. The Red head is a higher compression head the way I understand it.

Hey Rusty,
I didn't know a person needed a tire changer to change tires on these cars. I got new tires but have not tryed to install them yet, I'm waiting until I get it painted. The wheel puller is moot point for me right now. Trial and error was my solution to getting the rear wheels off..  I tryed everything I could think of, even broke a couple pullers bolts, then I got smart... you know Mike Webb? I called him and he told me how to get them off, about 15 minutes later I had both rear wheels off. Pays to know the right people.. lol anyhow, I finished the brake and rear end work,  Thanks for the offer.

Hi Rusty, Looks like we are in the same area. Watertown is where I'm at. And you...
Maybe we could have coffee one day and visit about these "ol Beaters"

Hi Chet, I know what you mean, while towing this car home (about 150 miles) every rest stop or gas stop people would want to take pictures of the car and talk about it. Most didn't know it was a Plymouth and were surprised at one in this shape being 80 something years old. lol  Hope I look this good when I get there.....

Howdy all, I am extremely new to this site and also to the restoration of the older plymouths.  I have been enjoying all the past posts to this site, and have learned a lot about the project I have taken on. Surprising, the car I got hold of had a prior restoration (not a frame off) about 20 years ago and stored in a barn, from that point till the previous owner died and his family sold his collection. Bought as a 1928 model, the title is a 1928 model, however, according to Jim and all I have read in the posts here and POC posts, I believe it must be a 1929 model Plymouth Business Coupe. This car is in pretty good shape, except for minor normal maintenance items, Brakes, Seals, Brgs, Carberation, Distributor, etc. Just items that deteriorate from setting still for so long. Plus pulling the Oil pan, transmission, stearing sector, rear diferential, etc just to make sure there was no problems there. I believe I am ready for the paint.... Thanks for the great site, and the help you guys have given me.  After seeing all your pictures of those beautiful cars I am ashamed to picture mine here, until I get it painted. I see there is another "Glenn" on this site from down under, so I will sign off as "The other Glenn" from South Dakota, so you can diference between us.
Thanks again
The Other Glenn.
