Been searching around and I don't want to risk a crappy weld job on my transmission pan due to some guy stating he can do it and half *** it.
Anyone know a good welder (preferably near Fullerton) that can weld a bung on a transmission pan? Contact info would be great!
Thanks in advance.

I think I found a way around this.

The company is based out in Ontario and they actually do a will-call so its $16 + tax (for either 460le and TH350) for a deep pan with a drain plug. It doesn't have a magnet in the pan but they do sell a $4 magnetic plug that fits the pan so all together, $20 bucks.
What do you guys think of this? I just got quoted $20 to weld a bung so almost the same in cost.
Any thoughts / concerns? Anyone want me to pick one up for them?

Got your PM. I got a couple of things I needed welded in the future so I'll keep your contact handy.
I'm going with the larger transmission pan posted on the first post + magnetic drain plug. $20 bucks for a new deep pan sounds better than welding a $25 drain plug on my existing drain pan.
Thanks for the info guys.

Yeah, I went to a couple of exhaust shops around town and it nearly had me running scared. I'm just going with a deep transmission pan with a plug. $20 bucks for the pan and cooler oil is a plus.
