^^^ I made a set of these after you posted this tip before, this is seriously a great tool for removing wheels especially the larger diameter or more delicate wheels. Great Tip! |

Also related, cut a sideways notch in a thin flat bladed screwdriver for wheel straightening. Slide it in and then rotate so you're perpendicular to the base. Put your thumb on the face of the wheel and then you can tweak them a little at a time until they're straighter. Make small adjustments at a time and check the roll each time until you get the hang of it. Pick up cheap but decent quality metal screwdrivers from the table tools at flea markets or possibly pawn shops and cut a notch with a Dremel cutting wheel as opposed to trying to do so with a saw. Actually now I'm posting this, I think I'll pick up some more next trip and make a bunch if people are interested for a couple of bucks each.

This is more for junkyard cars, but if you want to make the car look like it has smashed its fender into a tree or pole, place the car on one side in a vice or clamp, and choose which fender you want damaged. Now, hold the shank of a good size screwdriver on the middle of the fender and give it a few good hard whacks with a hammer. this will produce a dent in the fender similar to what a tree or pole would do to a real car fender |
