What on earth is that going to weigh?! lol

My welding table I did last spring is a 3' x 5' slab of 1/4" mild steel with 1" x 2" square tube welded to it and it is NOT a light piece for me to pick up and move around the garage!

You are truly fortunate to know somebody who can bend metal for you like that, not to take away from your obvious talents in metalwork... it's just got to be such a nice base to start off of rather than having to weld those two pieces yourself and smooth them. It lets you focus on other details.

Only real men build things out of steel, lesser men without beards build things out of aluminum.

well, the stock under side brace that goes from the subframe to the lower rad support brace is steel. obviously these look much beefier than that but id say the benefit of them stiffening up the lower part of the front of the car not to mention their skid plate purpose makes the weight really not that big of a deal. i am one of the biggest advocates of weight reduction on this place and i still say that lol

aluminum skid plates? they'd be gone in a day LOL

That shot would look a LOT different on a Michigan road. I think there would be some concrete jammed into the oil pan... lol

You've clearly never seen this thing go down the road as-is.

It would change your mind.
