sight glass
One "feature" I installed in my Kadett as a result of my time in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club is a sight glass on the divers side of the oil pan. All I do is bend down and look at the oil pan through the wheel well to know where my oil level is.
If you're going to fabricate a tube and longer dip stick I'd suggest taking a que from Toyota and using a piece of round rod instead of the flat stuff. Maybe even smash the end with a vice or vice-grips to get a nice cross-hatch in the "normal" range?
