Skip Plate Update

Ok had some more time to work on the skid plate. Turns out my 2000 pound epoxy doesn't want to stick to the galvanized steel. So I switched to using pop rivets instead. Got the two peices connected together (needed 37" the sheet was only 36". Grr) and all of the cutting and bending done. I plan on putting in a few more pop rivets along the bottom edge to strengthen the panel up a little bit more (plus I like the looks of them). Then about all thats left is the final mounting.
