I wanted something a bit different then what is being offered at this time so I enlisted the help of some awesome metal fabricators to bend some aluminum plate and I got to work with the dremmel






this early 1900's machine has lived trough god knows what



steady hand....easy to say



Hammered fit the hump on frame, good grief this thing is in dire need of a bath, small children weight in mud under plates



over all pretty happy with the result, need to do vents on top and maybe a frame mount to the steel bumper on the top part with spacers and bolts, keeping the other plates stock for now, definitely going to construct them out of aluminum and make my own trans/transfer and diff plates as well.

any thoughts/ideas? will update progress...

 

sand blasted for ''tough'' look



finished product, can't wait to work on the transfer and diff covers, maybe even a fuel tank one...

 

Well done!!!

What gauge Aluminum did you use?

 

1/8" not too heavy put plenty protection
