In the original cartoon "Speed Racer" the chimps name was chimchim, too close to chinchin. Anyone remember that?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but isn't it a Super Troopers reference?

yes

So now I'm dealing with rounded nuts. I have a few options. 1) I can send this pan back and just order a stock one with a drain. No moving exhaust needed. 2) buy a deep socket extractor and pray. 3) cut the nuts off with a dremel, order new flange nuts, install pan.

I'm kinda leaning to option 1.

what a giant pain in the ass!

yes

Has it been long enough to declare the movie a classic? I say yes.

I would keep the stock pan and throw one of these drain plug kits on. I have never used one myself but i know a few guys that have and they had no complaints.

Oh man after all you're doing to this rig you'll probably always wish you'd installed that new deep pan and regret that you gave up on it. I say cut those damn nuts off. I use a cheap Harbor Freight 4" grinder with a cutoff wheel and I've cut all kinds of shit off my truck and it feels great every time I do. The local auto parts store probably has the flange nuts.
