Friend Tom Godish stopped by with this early pan, along with some other stuff he had just acquired, and I had never seen one like it. I thought maybe some people here might like to see it. IMG_2047.JPGIMG_2048.JPG

Post pics of any early 28 parts you have. like to see them. -
Thanks for posting pics. I have only seen one other in all of my years in the hobby. Depending on how the engine/chassis numbers shake out with the tudor I may buy from a friend and a seperate early chassis I am looking at I may need one of those. I know the tudor has had the engine and front end changed. Based on the few pic's of the chassis I have seen it may be a relatively correct January chassis. Too early to tell for sure as info has been slow and it is 500 miles away.

Hi Jim,Originally posted by Jim Mason View Post
I actually don't have any early A parts. This pan belongs to Tom Godish.Comment

Guess that's what happens when you use water instead of oil. LOL
I haven't seen a splash pan like that before. Even though it's shot, it still needs to be saved as a display item.Comment

Tom Godish saves EVERYTHING. I know he'll keep that pan, and those dip trays are especially interesting, I think.Originally posted by Tom Wesenberg View PostComment

I believe Mr. Godish’s pan is likely the first version. The bolded text represents my (have 3) pan.
(A6675) OIL PAN
● {BOP-Jan‘28}: Plain sides with no ‘ribs’ to secure the interior tray
valleys (cannot see) in the oil tray were initially small but enlarged later.
tray screwed (4) to support brackets that were spot welded (may be visible) to the inner sides of the pan.
● {Feb’28-EOP}: Ribs added to both sides to support a snap-in tray; valleys enlarged
● {BOP-Apr’28}: no reinforcement strips on mounting flange (single layer).
● {May’28-EOP}: Reinforcement strips added along the oil pan mounting flange
● {BOP-Dec’27}: finish was initially either zinc or cadmium plated; changed to black pyroxylin lacquer [sprayed outside only] by December 1927); no attempt to fill/hide natural texture of metal
● (BOP-e’29): removable cleanout plate
(A6726) OIL PAN CLEANOUT PLATE
{BOP-Jan-‘28}: removable clean out plate below the oil pump. (cadmium/zinc/black paint)
(A6730) DRAIN PLUG
● (BOP-May’28): brass drain plug: 1/8” thick head; copper gasket
● {Jun’28-EOP}: changed to steel; 1/8” thick head; copper gasket
