[DML] Re: Carfax

["Bernie" <bmanderville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got the car back through customs and registered it today.  Mike 
Pack and I, well really Mike worked on it all weekend, man is it hot 
out there.  The car smells of mothballs like you can't believe.  
Anybody go an idea how to get the smell out.  I leave the doors open 
with the battery disconnected just to try and air it out.  I think I 
may have really screwed up my sinuses (sp?)

All see next post for more of the saga of Black Beauty.
