Next project if you have oil leaks is to take it down to almost a long block and seal everything. There are gasket kits for $60.

I think you missed this part:
"As issues build up, and being over 80 with no capable help around," Plus health issues.
This means, that any jobs I take on must be smaller with no heavy lifting! Over 30 years, I have done a lot of work on this car, but eventually we have to stop.
I will likely get some of work done piecemeal by local shops. Problem there, is that we no longer have local shops familiar with these cars. I will have to guide them, but they don't usually listen! Frustrating.
First job will be oil cooler lines plus motor mounts (Parts ~C$300) Labor??
Second will be Guide rod mounts plus likely guide rod bushings and new spring shims with or with out new springs I already have. (Parts ~C$300) Labor ??
Running on original axles. Boots hanging in after repairing cracking. About C$700 incl aftermarket axles.
Looking like $2000 ????? Needs a younger guy who can save the labor.
