That seems odd. Don't oil pans come with drainplugs????

Probably would slow them down by a couple of minutes....

I know a fellow with a number of early 60s slant 6 A bodies who found an otherwise perfect gas tank that had been punched to drain it when the car was junked. Turned out it was the best he could find so he repaired the hole.

Tod I'd have to ask him but I'm pretty sure Dad put a brand new repro tank in his 63 valiant. The part that annoys me about our upull chain here is they won't sell anything that doesn't unbolt.

LOL!

If that's Vince's, I was going to be working in the area today and was going to be driving right by that yard. I was thinking about stopping, but I'm not going to bother now.

Not sure which engine you have, or if this would even be helpful but Dorman makes new steel pans for that vehicle.

I have used many of their stampings and they are actually nice.

Just a thought.

I am with ya there---such a waste of sheet metal.
