As was said if you are using a detergent oil and changing on a regular program, you shouldn't need to get it there that often.

That's kinda what we ran into with our Sept. build '28 Roadster. I think the post 1928 oil pans with the small drain plug are fine. If you're running a clean engine and modern detergent motor oil it seems to work out well.
On our 59AB Flattie, with that gargantuan oil drain plug you have to use a spanner wrench to change, there is enough room to stick your fingers in and feel along the bottom of the pan near the drain plug opening. Since running Motorcraft semi synthetic oils each year that engine is clean as a whistle (blower??) inside
