    I needed to replace my SM456 transmission mount, while I had the crossmember off I made a Skid Plate. I even put drain holes in it to replace the fluids. I also had a little problem while building it. I caught my pant leg on fire.:shock:

    Don't worry! I was fine. Just caught the fibers from the hole in it. (It's not the first time I've done this.) :rofl:

    Just call me Fire Marshall Bill. Ha ha ha ha ha!!

    To make the bends I cut half way through the metal with a cut-off wheel and then bent it up and welded the seam.

    Looks like an anti-skid plate.

    I don't think I'll have a problem with that. The engine oil pan is fare enough out of the way to ever get hit. (I think.)R)
