Anyone ever read these stories in Popular Science? I used to find back issues in the school library and read these stories,they taught you alot and were interesting. Some guy compiled a bunch of them on the net.

Absolutely. Gus always got things straigtened out and got to the bottom how mopes were tearing up their stuff. He was like a greasy Colombo with a torque wrench. He could probably even negotiate peace between DG and TC . . . .

peace is more likely in the middle east

That is a total time taking website. Start reading and get lost in time. Thanks for the share.

Popular Science was heady stuff for me back then.

I'm not clicking on that link until I've got a couple of hours to spare.

Gus Wilson's Model Garage was so great. As a little kid I read every episode, never missed it.

Think of it: automotive technical how-to + short story fiction mashup. How is that even possible? But they pulled it off very well.

Same here, I loved those stories from the wrong dipstick in Powerglide versus a TH350 to the clogged fuel sock filter in the gas tank. Gus ruled, always dreamed I could be that guy or at least meet someone who was. Great site! Thanks.
