Charlie's oil pans

Any alternatives to Charlie's? not having any luck with getting a new pan..after 2 months I think its time to start looking else where..

I have had good luck with Billet Fabrication......Nicest pans I have ever had,,,,Not cheap though.

I would check with Doug Lee's Engineuity. http://propan.net/

I have a set of valve covers from him that I really like.

While I have a Charlies Pan now, if I wanted another I would go to Doug.

Not to derail,,, but where would one go for a quality custom made pan?

Jeff Johnson owns and operates both his business in his name and he also owns and operates Billet Fabrication out of Spokane, WA
He makes really nice oil pans and rocker arm covers Not cheap though

I called these guys when I bought the Gerst front suspension for my Dart on a recomendation from a friend who runs a Dirt track car. I told them I wanted a rear sump Pan with a lot of capacity for a 340. They said they would make anything I want. I have not ordered yet. https://www.champpans.com/products/c/oil-pans/street-strip/

You will get it and it will be nice but hes really behind.
If he says 1 month, it will be 3-4 months.
I ordered mine way before I actually needed it and I wasnt in a hurry. I didnt want to stress over it.

Billet Fabrication is a custom pan shop....Hemi Pan

Wedge pan......

Charlie's Oil Pans is up for sale, no idea if he's still trading or not

How recent is this news. It sold several years ago and if I remember right reopened in Florida

Was not happy with the quality of the pan or the service I got from Charlies

It comes with great sadness but it is time for a new direction in life:

Charlies Oil Pans is for sale and closing its doors at the end of the year. Last day of work will end Dec 19th. Thank you to all the loyal customers over the years.

I will sell the business with all equipment $70,000 or equipment separate. Email oilpansandwelding@gmail.com for more information. Please no phone calls.


First I have seen or heard of this. This may be the second owner, I thought Charlie had sold the operation and it was moved to Florida.

That is the second owner. You can tell by the phone #.

Sad to hear that. But I’m glad I bought a couple that came up for sale at I can’t pass this up prices. At least I have a couple of spares. Lol

Dan Olsen will make any BBM pan you can dream up. Fast, economical, and the best windage systems. Heavy duty stuff.

Contact info for Him???

I talked to Charlie shortly after he had sold the business to the new guy several years ago.
I wanted him to build me a custom oil pan for a B1 motor build going in a 1963 Plymouth Fury with a stock K member, I ended up going with Jeff Johnson, good decision

Dan Olson Racing Products


Had one on this.

NICE!!

Thanks for the reply's.. based on price, time frame and .125 material I'm going with propan..thanks again..

Sounds like Charlies may survive, stay tuned.

Do we need to start a rumor that the operation is moving to Nevada? :-)

lol...Nope but maybe a bit up the east coast...

I had Charlie build me a bunch of pans over the years. Never tried the guy he sold to since it all sounded iffy. It would be nice to have good pan source for BB Mopar pans. The BB Mopar is fairly easy as pans go since the rail is flat. I started to get my own pan rails made and just sent the rails to Charlie and he welded up the box. That worked pretty good on a few pans he did for me.
