Mark & Gary SimpsonDescription
Managing Editor Mark Simpson and special guest Gary Simpson, professional metal fabricator and welder, spent an hour answering viewer questions regarding car repair, maintenance and restoration.
I have a 1978 Corvette Pace Car. It has 43,000 miles on it. Mostly original. Good condition. When it gets up to operating temperature and stopped it is hard to restart it. It is dangerous to drive at that point. After it runs for a while I put it into the garage the gas fumes smells are horrid. There are no gas leaks that I can find. The Rochester carb is not leaking. The gas fumes last for weeks. Need your help and input how to fix these issues. Thank you.
As a beginner welder, I’m interested in purchasing a multiprocess welder. What recommendations? And, what suggestions do you have to start off practicing? Tips, etc...
I replaced the brake lines on a 1951 Ford F1 and almost every one of my flares leaked and could not stop the leaks. Resorted to using store bought brake lines and still had a few leaks. What am I doing wrong. Regret that I even opened the lines. Thanks.Philip
Do you have a preferred media blast gun for a cabinet? I am mostly cleaning rust work black aluminum oxide and also glass bead for soft metal. Bill
