Changing sidemounts

I had to get my sidemounts tire on my 35, and I can tell you I'm glad I didn't have to do it on the side of the road! It's a major league pain in the @$$! The tire will not clear between the sidemount bracket and the edge of the fender! So you have to deflate the tire to get it off. Then after taking the side mount cover off, what are you going to do with it when it's nicely painted and you dont want to scratch it up? I always liked the looks of sidemounts but the more I look at it, the car looks a lot better without it, and its a major headache to get it off the car without damaging it.I think I'm healed of sidemounts maybe I should look for some unwelled fenders?
