Yes! It's that easy, CAD experience isn't necessary! Make some Delrin (Acetal) plastic plates for your project. In this episode, "How to make "Bolt-on" Delrin Skid Plates with SendCutSend - GM A-Body Skid Plate Upgrade", I order a drill guide plate, and matching Delrin "bolt-on" plates to act as replaceable skid plates for my 3/16" Steel skid plate, which is also made by SendCutSend. Who's my favorite sheet metal fabricator...
Don't get stranded with a punctured oil pan in your 68 through 72 GM A-body's (Malibu, Chevelle, Lemans, GTO, 442, Cutlass, El Camino). Have some piece of mind, and get a Skid Plate! I was almost stranded on the way home from Hot August Nights 2024, because I ran over an underground tank cover, at a gas station. Scored my Oil Pan. Scared the crap out of me. The skid plate was designed in CAD last episode, now it's time to open our box from SendCutSend, my favorite Sheet Metal fabricator.
There are two plates you can order directly from SendCutSend;
Design Number 1; Rev 8.1 without tapped holes; Coming Soon.
Design 2; Officially "Version 8.1" Raw Steel, Tapped Holes, and Delrin Plates included;
