<VV> Newbie...Me!

A word of warning to Newbies that haven't see it.

As Smitty suggested recently, these old cars that have been sitting around
for 30+ years, never over hauled, etc, might have residual lead from the
leaded gas we used, way back when.

If you remove the oil pan to clean it, which is a great idea, IMHO, please
protect yourself from it's contents...gloves, mask, apron, etc... And
dispose of properly.

By the time I saw Smitty's warning, it was too late for the lakewood pan I
pulled, but I won't forget it again.
