new car fumes

  • has anyone had problems with fumes

    after restoring the engine and bay?

    the heat from the engine will

    cause the new paint to smell

    and wondering if this could be a

    problem if all the tiny holes in the FW

    were not sealed up?

    thanks

  • Dave, There are always "fumes" associated with a newly restored car-paint, interior, rubber,lubricants, gasoling, ect, I never noticed anything super offensive.

  • The PM was for Round2K Dave Wallace as I have been trying to reach him for a while and his regular email is not working correctly.

  • have almost finished fixing all

    the holes in the FW and floor pans.

    and check to make sure there are no

    exhaust leaks etc.
