Clutch looks fine, so will install clutch back on 48 DeSoto

[MarcDeSoto]

I thought my clutch disc was rusted onto the pressure plate after 40 years, but if it was, it was just barely stuck on.  When I removed the clutch bolts, the whole clutch assembly fell out including the disc, so no need to remove the FD!  Now I'm just going to clean off the pressure plate of some minor rust, and install the clutch.  The clutch is a new one, bought in the early 80s.

Least I'll know what a fairly new one is supposed to look like when I get mine out. Plus your bellhousing face is dry..no transmission leaks.
