I am ready to send the car to the painter. The windows have been removed and I have covered all the items that I don’t want any over spray to touch.

While the car is gone I will finish the workbench, inspect the engine and transmission oil pans. If I find anything in the transmission pan I may take it down to Raceland, LA and let Earl Folse look it over in his transmission shop. If there is anything wrong in the engine, I will overhaul it myself.

I don’t expect to find anything wrong in the engine. The engine, transmission and converter only had 8 passes, and the engine was running when the safety crew got to me after the wreck. The converter failed after I sold it, so there may be an issue with the transmission.
