sectioned my oilpan yesterday

finished welding up my oilpan for anyone wanting to see. also got my valve cover back from the powdercoater. now i just have to lower the engine.http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f39/framescr8pintoy/

I really like how you did that. Probably will still be close to stock oil capacity. I might have to redo mine like that when I rebuild my motor.

how thick of metal did you use? looks like some pretty serious weld beads goin on.

and im not hatin, just askin..

love the work on the oil pan. i need to have about an 1 1/2" taken out of mine. how much did you take out of yours?

It looks like about an inch on his. I took about an inch out of mine.And it looks ot be down to about the same. I really like the side piece though. I'm definitely redoing mine when I rebuild the motor.

like how how you added the side piece to keep the same capacity nice work

i pretty much did the same as blazedbowties except instead of just cutting off the bottome hump. i went ahead and cut it all the way to the front and just made a whole new bottom.. mainly for looks and i thought it would be easier. then just went out the side 1.5 " and up 2" for the kickout. used 1/8" thick metal. yeah the welds are a little big. but i was doing it in a hurry at work trying to get it done before someone would see me. and because it was my last day working there.
