    Thanks for the new pix. The detail is just amazing...doubt there's another Country Squire around that can top this for the degree of resto. :thumbs2:

    Also glad to hear you fixed the leak. Was it the pan at fault (dimpled)? Just curious....:confused:

    Hal,
    Thanks!!

    The gasket (rubber) failed for some reason. It was saturated at the back of the pan.
