Projects Oil Pan Console

Well, almost done, but ran out of trim for the drink holders, and can't get till next week, so posting my oil pan console now..
Have changed many things on it, but like the way it turned out..

This is going in my 1963 Biscayne

Started out with SBC oil pan.

Tray is cut down valve covers upside down

SBC valves hold the Harley pouch for my CCW

Deep well sockets are for holding two cigars

Ash tray was a gift a few years back..

Was looking for timing chain for bottom, but used Harley chain instead.

Fits just like I wanted it to..

I am no pro, but love doing this stuff, and at (76) years old with my "Body Restrictions" I can still do this stuff...

 

Now that's what you call thinking outside the pan!!

 

Oldiron, you beat me!

I like that. Looking forward to finished condition.

Slick!

 

Attsa's a nice!

 

I hear banjos..... Crafty Thinkin $

PS: the banjos is reference to the name on the car

 

OK

 

I never would have thought of that, but I like it.

 

Read somewhere once that a brake drum makes a cool air cleaner.

 

I smell a rat....

Kool !

 

Saw this on the HAMB a few years back. Thought it was cool.

 

When I saw the title, I was expecting some finned aluminum one.

 

No place for the Cherry now so no Bobby, Tony doesn't like it.

 

This idea I like!

I looked at some finned ones.. really liked them, but a bit fancy for my car...
A friend of mine is now considering making one out of a fined one...

 

Usually seeing the oil pan coming thru the trans tunnel is a bad thing...

 

Hahahahaha

 

Creative, I like the pouch.

 

All this finned aluminum oil pan talk is starting to get me thinking....take my parts car..a oil pan and valve cover....then....crap , now look what I have done...no more thinking....

^^^^^ Ditch the pan and get another valve cover. Then you'll have a 67 SS Chevelle hood.

 

I had a 67 SS Chevelle 396 ,350hp , 4spd, in Hi School....great car and a cool hood.

Original thinking and turned out looking pretty good too. Good job!!
