Mick Dschida,(Oldnfuelish), is the man!! He repaired my vintage Cooper 'hesitator' clock over the holidays. It arrived today in perfect shape. I hung it on the wall & lit it up. Looked great. Then I wondered if it was possible that there was a ghost of a chance that it would fit inside of my NOS 1950's Cooper tire. What are the odds of a perfect fit & perfect combination? Now how can I hang it or display it? I'm very happy to say the least, since our family name is Cooper!

Sam the clock looks fantastic! But, once you placed it in the tire, it somehow went above and beyond fantastic, IMO!!....
Mick, you did a terrific job... I think you have become the "Clock Whisperer"..... (as such, I think you deserve one of "Randy's" favorites)

Looks great Sam. Great job Mick. Displaying not so easy. In a stand up high like on top of toolbox. Hanging I would think a wood structure to go up in top of tire then a plate to attach to wall. Don't know how far your clock goes back in tire.

Nice Mick. The pictures on this thread do the clock no justice. Must watch the youtube link to fully appreciate this one.
