I also have a problem with this company. In October 2005 they processed a refund for a car that my husband and I traded in that came back NSF in November. The company in Hawaii is a consumer affairs outfit and not an underwriter, but I was told the same thing from 1sourceautowarranty three weeks...

What is a good neutralizer/remover of the musty odor of a 20+ year stored car?I have cleaned/ vacuumed the entire interior, but haven't shampooed the carpets. It was stored in a garage under a car cover. It is now in a garage with the windows down and will probably be there for another 6 months.

Is it better to install a PVC than re-using the original oil breather system that I now have? Are there any modifications that are necessary to do the change-over? Thanx- lib

While applying the park brake some time ago, the handle pulled off the cable. Is there a reliable repair for that end of the cable or is it replace only? I notice the cable is not an inexpensive part. It won't add too much to my project total cost, so if it's only a temporary fix, I'll bite...

or some time I have wanted to get a cruise car for the summer. A modest 70 era - 10 footer- to go to concerts, Friday cruse night........... I looked at a 76 on Saturday with 45000mi, L-48. Nothing had been done to the car. That isthe orignial (but worn) paint,interior, and under the hood, no...

just recently finished repainting my 71 coupe with the 2002 corvette electro blue. It looks great and the painter did a really nice job. The problem that has come up, is that on the hood, just above the air breather area, the paint has air pockets. The guy who painted it, took the hood back and...
