Just finished up the guard for my dad's car. 100% bolt on to the chassis.
Test fit before I had the collars to weld on and bolt holes to attach the channel to the plate:
Lower collars that my dad picked up somewhere:
Finished assembly:
I also attached a quick cad sketch of the pieces as I made them to fit my dad's car. It should give you a base point to start from if you need one. Some of the dimensions will more than likely need to be tweaked to fit the items you use in your build.

What is the thickness of the plate? Also what is the dimension after the bend in the plate? Thanks
if anyone else knows, thanks
Looks like I forgot to put the over all dimensions on the print out I posted, sorry.
The plate is 18" x 12" 11 gauge steel. I ordered it form speedy metals.
So Given my dimensions on the print out, there should be about 5" on the shorter side of the bend.
I had also made another one for Tony ( I think his screen name is ajagoditsh ) and he had to cut about 1.5" out of the channel sides for it to fit in his car. Sorry no clue which body style he has but I do have a Pic.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
