replace oil pan gasket

Thats what I was afraid of, trying to unscrew 20 year old bolts out of a frame and then I might as well buy new shocks, coils, bolts, sway bar end links, brake lines, e.t.c I love how they made this car. when they run they run, when they break, take out your platinum visa.

When they rebuilt the motor they obviously never retorqued bolts, cuz every oil pan bolt or other motor related bolt was finger loose, I'm surprised the damn things bolts didn't fall out entirely, put 20k on the rebuild and now ALL the gaskets are leaking that touch oil, damnit, just replaced the valve cover ones, then noticed the timing belt was a used one since it looks old as hell. looks like a case of beer and 4 hours tomorrow for me to replace them all..Thank you for the help guys!
