From
Chino Valley: I found a replacement
fender for my old Chevy project. I have stripped it down to bare
metal. What would be the best way to get it ready for paint? Jim
at KC Auto Paint: Get some DTM (direct to metal)
etching primer. This will make the metal accept a primer coat
with good results. Give us a call if you need more help. (928)
776-1050. |

From
Prescott Valley: I have a
leak at the bottom of my windshield and it gets the floor wet
when it rains. It's a 1997 Chevy Blazer, is this a major fix?
Terri at Magic Glass: Maybe. There are
two possibilities to fix it. First, and least expensive, silicone
the out side edge. These windshields are glued in, even a pin
hole can cause a leak. Second is remove the windshield and reseal
it, however, being glued in there is a possibility it will break.
It is best to have a replacement glass on hand if necessary. Give
us a call (928) 541-0101. |

From
Prescott Valley: I am restoring
an old Corvette, I'd like to save some work and get it blasted.
What would be the best material to blast it with? Dobby,
owner of Advanced Abrasive Blast: There is a media
called Polyblast for fiberglass. I have used Walnuts on fiberglass
and it works just as well and it is less expensive. You can also
use Soda or crushed Corn Cobbs. |

From
Prescott: I'm getting a buzzing sound from my transmission.
It runs fine otherwise. It is a 1 ton 1985 GMC Van. Steve
Foubert, owner of Foubert Transmissions: If the
filter on any automatic transmission is partially clogged. It
will make the pressure regulator valve buzz or even have a delayed
engagement into gear. Always try to change the automatic transmission
filter first for symptoms like this buzzing sound. |
