Been having some troubleshooting issues. Got some of them worked out but still runs a bit weak. Oil pan and oil pump were leaking due to the gaskets being shot. I replaced them initially but somehow they must have gotten moist. Replaced them and all seems well FOR NOW. Then I decided to make a skid plate for the oil pan. The car is low, it scraps (onto my driveway, but not sure on the roads yet), I had to make this pan to help with that issue. Its pretty ghetto but I think its ok for just eye balling it really. Made from stainless steel, after the first 500 miles on the motor I will take it down, tweak it and then coat it with undercoating. This is just a 'for now' type of thing.

Hope to get the car registered today and on the road insured for next weeked!
