    Split Rims

    Door sag

    Today I changed out the oil pan gasket (the filler blocks add some time, but do a great job holding the gasket in place!), replaced the oil pressure sensor and tuned the carb. Then my A-driver and chief mechanic and I took her for a low speed short test drive. Tomorrow will be longer and...
