Default converter smell?

I just put the car back on the road, EB02.I'm getting a foul odor, almost like something burning kinda. I've stored cars before (I've had 8) and never got this smell before. I checked the calipers and there not hot, no smoke anywhere, could it be in the converter? :confused: any help please !

Does it smell like sulfer or rotten eggs?

Check to see if your differential is leaking and spraying fluid back on your exhaust system.
It smells pretty bad! :(
