Any Help, Much Thanky!

Poser supposedly makes one that's one step shy of Abrams armor, but I haven't inquired as to the price. I need one, but it's only a small part of my drastically underfunded cruiser project so it has to wait like everything else.

Don, My Cruiser Co. skid is cut for a sm420/3spd setup but doesn't really fit my H42/ToyBox/Splitcase. If we can fab one to fit mine I'll hook ya up with this one.

I'm thinkin' somethin' like this....

May be a good wrenching weekend project with the tubing bender ?????

MIne is an old Con-Fer skid plate. With the toybox and split case it works great I had to weld in a section of channel iron to mount under the toybox mount and add 3/4" tube to space the skid plate down lower than normal to clear my Junk including my disk parking brake. you know I beat my junk hard too.. But I'm not sure if con-fer is still in business.
Suggestion? Maybe make it out of cardboard first. then get out the smoke wrench or go to Chris's and use the plasma cutter and we can just weld you up something? Fab time sucks tho.. I always run out.
