They may have built the pan with a tube crossmember in the proto car.
I already did hammer the subframe; we have to in the directions. Now, I'll just do it some more. The subframe already has bends and curves and holes. What is the difference between one more? It would actually be easier for me to cut, sand and MIG weld a recession in the subframe than for me to TIG weld the oil pan, but I don't really think it is necessary; I'll have to see. I'm not sure, but the current spot for the oil pan could be the low spot.
