Beautiful car.
HOA in a trailer park. That's rough.
Are there any garages for rent near by?
I had to do that when I lived in West Alis, a suburb of Milwaukee.
Was well worth the rent money.
Make sure it's properly insured though.
I learned that the hard way too.

Looks like you got a handle on the situation.
Happy Hot Rodding. up


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.

Yeah, mostly they make razor sharp chips that get stuck in your shoe and wind up in the living room carpet...you find them when you're walking barefoot there.

I used to rent a 10x20 storage place for a garage several times when I was stuck in an apartment situation.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

not really sure, the break is exactly on the shiny line were the pushrod was contacting the head.partial blame falls on me for not keeping up with the valve adjustment.supposed to be 28/32 and when i checked all of them before a took it apart they were very loose.
