Not critising your build, no, no by far, but I gotta laugh at the hole in the oil pan.
"I just arrived home oly to discover a HUGE oil spot under my brand new (new-to-me) '68 Charger. I figured it was just a bad gasket, so I crawed under the car only to discover that my TIE ROD went straight thru to oil pan! The last owner had a poor attempt at Dick Landy's oil pan!" :lol: :rolleyes: :lol:
It's coming along great! You may have to notch the K-member a tad to get that pan to fit.
