Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for June 30, 2024

Tires . . . and an entire front assembly? At least the cement block complainers will be satisfied. Right?

Get jack stands, too. There is still work to do underneath and it keeps the bottoms of the tires from dry rotting.

Tires at last! Maybe I’ll live long enough to see him drive it!

How long will the tires last just sitting there?

Way to go dad. You finally pitched in to help Baldo.

Now the new wheels and tires are worth more than that rust bucket.

In second panel, no A arm which holds the spindle and brakes. So what is the tire mounted to?

Make sure you move the car regularly so they don’t rot

First, I’m happy to get rid of the cinder blocks. Also, I looked it up…a set of tires and wheels like that are about $3,000. Very generous Papi.

Thank God that poor car finally gets some tires.

Awwwww! This would have been great for Fathers’ Day.

Never thought of that before.

I love strips with Sergio in them. His expressions are the best!

good job, Papi!

YAY ! Finally Tires !

Don’t forget to check the fender clearance when you drop it.

Papi’s the best!

NEW Tires And Rims!!! Nice and a lot more safe!! My husband, ehen he was in his teens, was working underneath a car and it fell off the bumper jack, and sliced his head open. Luckily someone was there to rush him to the hospital. He healed with no permanent damage after a couple of months.

First visible progress in years

Hector and Carlos sure know how to draw a beautiful car.

I was so confused why they were staring at the reader until I realized they were looking at the tires off to the side.

In every strip he is shown reaching down in the engine with a big wrench, the only thing I can think he is doing is attempting to replace the timing belt / chain – not easy. Before he should research the cost of two front doors and front and back seats-if the car has been exposed to rain for 50+ years uncover the interior will be rotten with mold.

I really hope we get to see the finished product some day

What a good padre!

His Dad is great. Of course He purchased the car too.

Good for you, Papi. Something to cross off his list.

Nice rims!!
