imple for the drain was done in a press, 3" pipe on the outside, 1.5" OD tube on the inside. Pumped it down until I got the depth I wanted.The dimples on the side was done in the brake, with some creative use of custom top die/muffler bender bottom die.Heres a bumper I made for a jeep conversionI know, theres a gaping hole between the bumper and tailgate but thats how they wanted it.Last edited by sn0border88; 08-04-2009 at 10:11 PM.Have we all gone mad?

Reply:Hey how much to make me 2 stainless steel oil pans that would fit a 99-03 for 7.3 Diesel. I don't do enough stainless to make them myself.Lincoln 300 Vantage 2008300 Commander 1999SA250 1999SA200 1968Miller Syncrowave 200XMT350MPA/S-52E/xr-15Xtreme 12vs Millermatic 251 w/30A Millermatic 251 Dialarc 250 Hypertherm 1250 GEKA & Bantom Ironwokers
Reply:Havent updated this in a while so here goes.Some random boxes, either mirror finish stainless or aluminum treadplate.5"x.065 Stainless tube. We had already made it and sent it to the customer some time ago, but he sent it back and said he wanted it polished. I says "that whole thing, mirror finish??" So I cut it apart at the weld so it would be easier to work with, tarted out with normal mill finish mandrel bends and slowly (took 6 hours total) polished it out and welded it back together.

Reply:A more complex oil pan, however I cant see to find the pictures of the outside.Have we all gone mad?

Reply:I missed the customer part (a d d + old age = ?).In my neck of the woods there has been an awful lot of stuff come out of toolrooms and model shops that didn't belong there. Some guys didn't mind doing the work but many did.There was too often an expectation that the free stuff going out the back door needed more care and better appearance the the employers stuff.Matt
Reply:That is some beautiful heliarc welding. I am most impressed with your craftmanship. Are you using a pedal when welding?
Reply:On that stuff I used the pedal because it was all bench work. Thanks for the compliments so far.Have we all gone mad?

Reply:Those oil pans are OEM replacements for semi-trucks, think 30-50qrt capacity. Yes, they have turbos but I dont know what the bungs are for exactly. Could be oil return line for the turbo, some are for other kinds of oil coolers.Have we all gone mad?
