BigKev,

Thanks for the statistics on my Clipper. I have the conventional Ultramatic. Thankfully an access panel was created in the floor to enable easier checking of the transmission fluid.

Thanks too for the tip on watching out for brake parts as I do plan to have brake work done. The front brakes had been redone including hoses.

Is the script "Super" and "Clipper" supposed to be on the trunk with "Super" to the left of the lock/emblem and "Clipper" to the right? A former owner apparently acquired the script but had not installed it. I guess the trunk had been worked on. Someone installed block lettering "Clipper" to the right of the trunk lock; the same block lettering that appears on the rear doors.

Thanks for all your continued help and dedication with this great website.
