I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
The Autopian launched and David Tracy has already bought something stupid and not running.
Might be a good day after all.

Forgot to drain my oil catch can last night, throw some wrenches and a drip pan in the truck figuring I'll do it at lunch.
Lunchtime, eat, head out and start loosening the drain plug. Drain plug is too tight, whole bottom of this chinesium piece of shit can comes off. Instead of a steady drip in one spot so I can place the pan properly there is a deluge. Drip pan is nowhere near adequate.

Yep. Replaced one side like 6 months ago, then the other side started leaking.
It actually wasn't too bad, as I supervised. Two hours start to finish and a lot of it was spent trying to loosen the seized nuts on the motor mounts.

Back on the 1600.
Kids used an advance pizza-based cardboard-aided drafting technique that I taught them to fabricate a patch for the rusted-out part.

The hole:
Designing a patch, pt 1:
I cheated and bought them a sheet metal brake after they transferred the design to a piece of sheet metal.
Then the boy decided he'd go ahead and punch some holes in to fill-weld it in place.
We finished it up with some seam sealer and rustoleum rust converter paint.
Got a few more panels to make, then it's going back on the frame for suspension work.
