"fix oil leak" sounds like it's gonna be a big problem

Yeah I hope not. I was gonna crawl under yesterday to get a
better look but it rained like crazy in MI yesterday. When I
peaked under there the other day it kinda looks like its the
oilpan gasket. It is only a couple little drops on the ground
when I park the car, so if I find the source I can put a band
aid on it to get me through sunday.
So since it was raining and I could only work in the garage I
went and got these.

I got a chance to try out my sweet Harbor Freight tire changer.

For being from HF it actually worked decent. It does say
portable but what they mean by that is you have to bolt it down
wherever you take it... I clamped it to a bench yesterday. My
more permanent solution though I think I'm gonna bolt that
sucker right to the tongue of the trailer.

All that's left is that oil leak and the brake adjustment.
Hopefully the brakes go smoothly, worst case I will run in the D
with no hand brake...

Yeah I heard Detroit is under 10ft of water right now. Didn't
look to see if the post office was too.
So that tire changer worked out for you? I bought one a few
years back to do the 14's on my Corolla but then I decided screw
that sh!t and got one of those really old tire changers from
like the 70's. 16x10 seems to be about its max tho...

Yeah Detroit is under a lot of water at the moment. Luckily I'm
about an hour north and we didn't get hit nearly that hard...
Yeah the tire changer seems to work alright for my 13s, but I
think I'm gonna polish the prybar.

So the Streets are done and the brown car sucked... Its good
enough for AC but not to be serious. So its back to work on the
blue car. Starting Monday I yanked the motor and started getting
it packed up to send to the guy that bought it a while ago. I
did some various other things like cleaning my garage a bit.
Then yesterday I got a little excited with the cut off wheel and
did

Don't have any tubing at the moment. Gonna try to pick some up
tomorrow. I did put the front end together today without that
chunk that I cut out. I have an idea of where the tubing is
gonna go now.
