Skid plate mock up.

Posted by Kris sometime around 9:02 am

The front plate is in place with a fresh new 15 degree bend and steel side brackets. It’s complete and ready for action. The middle plate has been re-assembled and is sitting under the car waiting for a tape measure and a steady hand. It’s a combination of 3/16″ plate and 3/16″ poly plastic and fits up under the lip of the front plate. The rear gas tank plate is 1/8″ aluminum and has been bent neatly around the back of the gas tank and secured to the underside of the trunk. All this fabrication took most of the weekend. Bending 3/16″ aluminum without a giant hydraulic brake is a bit of a challenge, and served as a bit of comic relief around the shop. The rest of the garage pictures are here.
