Sweet looking plate you made, sure beats spending the $100+ for a pre fabbed one. Maybe I'll do that for my next mod...

Nice job! You can't beat having the material given to you. I lucked out and got some free aluminum for the skid plate I made. Saved me about $70 just in material.

Shop class....That brings back memories. Heating up pliers so the next guy would burn his fingers. Crazy gluing the teacher to his own chair. Playing space invaders on my watch. The 80's were great. Oh and nice job on the plate.
