I do everything by hand. I'm an old-school dude, my shed and I are super low tech.

I think I'm going to build a custom oil pan for this thing since the front sway bar doesn't fit and the sump sits too low.

I've loved watching the evolution of this car over the years, good on you for constantly reinventing it and keeping the goals ambitious.
