Changed the deep oil pan (7 ¾") on the charger this weekend to a Milodon (5 ½") circle track pan. Still has a 7 qt capacity and fit with the stock steering. Now the exhaust is the lowest part on the car, but I haven't hit that yet.

I've never seen that pan installed....looks like ground clearance isn't going to be an issue anymore !  :icon_smile_big:

You're headers look sexy, aka they look like true step-tube at first glane, who makes them?

Very nice! I'm expecting the stance on mine to be lower than usual so I might have to use one of these.

I was looking at a Charlie's version at Carlisle but didn't get around to buying it before the vendor split Saturday.

meanwhile I saw this pan but it's pretty dang expensive.  :o   http://alltimeracing.com/v2/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,shop.flypage/product_id,24/category_id,7/manufacturer_id,0/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,47/

I've installed that pan on a couple of customer cars...   I can get the same thing made for cheaper out of steel from a local guy.

Nice photography also. What is the purpose of that plate on the bottom of the K-frame?
Still looking for 15x7 Appliance slotted mags.....

Can you buy the skid plate to have it welded to your existing K-frame?  Who sells it?

I think you can get just the skid plate from Mega Parts.  http://www.megapartsusa.com/
