Re: [Chrysler300] LAST CALL on '57-'58 Fan Clutch

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't want to set up a business as Mr. Fan Clutch, but I am going to 
to make a one-time run of these for the '57 - '58 for those who need 
one.  So far I have 6 requested and I'll set the quantity based on what 
I hear today, so this is kind of a last call to make sure this is all 
that is needed.  Anybody else before I get going on it?
