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.

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.

From Facebook:

December 2, 2018 ·
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.

iagree 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 up twocents
