Installed my J's baffled oil pan lastnight... working under my car by myself was not fun. Especially when I'm doing the reverse worm to get out from under the car

Need to do my J's rad hoses and rear driveshaft spacers.

After doing my oil pan, I don't plan on attempting my spoon rigid collars... I'm likely gonna pay someone to do it lol

I need to get out on a track ASAP.

You need a creeper. It helped me out big time. Still super awkward, but helps out sliding in and out from under the car. One can be picked up from princess auto or harbor freight on the cheap. My father and law got me one for Christmas. Only been used a handful of times but it always comes in handy when you actually do need it

Ya I'm buying one today lol
Does yours have a brake system on it? Some of them don't and I wondering how the hell you would torque down a bolt if you're on one without a braking system.

Haha! I have a 2 year old but he was in bed by the time i started working on the car so that didn't work out for me..

I'm also definitely gonna look into one of these lift systems.

Mine does not have a brake system. I haven't done any serious wrenching under the car so I haven't experienced that problem. I suppose you could just jam your knees up into something?

P.S. I'm out for the July meet but if you are going to the August one we should roll together. I think my car will be done by then...

Swapping back to track wheels from my street wheels.

Rear brakes are getting low... got a track day today and likely going to be replacing the rears.
Next season will be BBK and probably new wheels.
