Hey No Cars,
My uncle owned the biggest Seiberling Tire repair facility in Southern CT. It was located in Willimantic. He had all his sons working there when i was just a little tot back in the early 70's. I got to see them repair some really BIG truck tires the old fashioned way by sanding down the surface and putting that rubber cement on it then lighting it on fire to cure the glue and then patching it. This place was cool as it had all wooden floors and the old style Coke machine in there. Wanna sell it? Brought back some cool memories for me.
