Should have listened/stayed away from Stef's...

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.
