Thanks, but at this point, the 2-3 of us is plenty for the remainder of the project. I initially wanted 6-million people there because I was hoping to have the drivetrain swapped in one day in order to avoid overlapping into this 6-week-stint (May 29-June 10) that I won't have any off days. But the damage is done now, and myself and some locals are casually wrenching on it in the evenings as the weather allows, and things are going smoothly.
The oil pan was pulled off yesterday evening and dropped off at LS1ow's house for welding. His father is an experienced welder, with many more friends in the trade, and said it wouldn't be a problem to seal the small crack in it, and that I can have it back in a few days! I guess the apple fell pretty far from the tree in this case, because Ls1ow's father is the freakin' MAN!
I've been playing with some engine-bay clean-up ideas during this time, as well. Nothing drastic, just some subtle things here & there to make the engine bay a little less "busy." The car, as a whole, isn't going to come out of this as a monster, any means, but it will have a few "while I'm at it" upgrades.
I intend to make a real build thread in the Member's Section when this is all over.
