Maybe he is not so good on Ford pans but all the Mopar guys seem to really like him.

I have one of his pans that is not on an engine yet but it sure looks nice in the box!

The oil pan on my super stocker was built by Stefs. I sent them all the measurements they requested off the car, engine location, size of cutout in the k-frame,location for the tie-rod tube (taken off the old pan which fit the car). When it arrived, it sure was nice looking, excellent workmanship and welding.....very well engineered. Then I attempted to install the motor in the car....about 1 inch too wide for the cutout in the k-frame and the tube for the tierod was in the wrong location. I rechecked my measurements and drawings that I had sent.....Their mistake, not mine. I had it modified locally rather than wait 6-8 weeks for them to correct their mistake. Of course it isn't as pretty now with a couple of patches to correct their mistake.
