Default Clutch Problems sorted out

Hi Guys: Well I finally have the clutch sorted out on my 28 sport coupe. The problem came down to the pressure plate being worn out with weak springs and the fingers about 1/3 of the thickness they should have been. So now the car has a new clutch disc and pressure plate. The throw out bearing and pilot bear are new so I was good there. Then I got everything back together and sorted out and the clutch still wouldn't allow the transmission to be shifted. That came down to too much free play in the clutch pedal adjustment. Closed that adjustment up and I'm finally ready to test drive the car. I couldn't believe the free play was so critical. So it's suppose to snow tomorrow but it might be clear on the weekend. Maybe a test drive this weekend!!

Thanks for all of your help.
