[FC] FC clutch

[Paul Campbell]

Shaun,  I have a 61 Rampside that needs the exact same treatment.  Will you come by and seal mine up "for good" ?   I live near Harrisburg, PA

  Hi Charles, do you have the drivetrain out? If so, I can come by and show
  you how to seal it "for good".
  It'll have to wait 'till after the convention, I'm busy 'till then. Let me
  know and I can pick up the parts you need at the convention.
