A roll pan for the front? Cut the bumper off and fill the holes in the valance. Voila. One built in roll pan.

The PO of Gary's F1 cut off the frame horns so we are filling the frame holes in the bottom of the fenders while doing the rust repair:

Like I mentioned it's an ongoing project. That upper and lower fender, the worst of the four, is all welded and thru metal finishing, Gary is using what he learned to work on the other 3 fenders while we wait for warmer weather to do the skim fill coat. My goal is to teach Gary how to make repair panels and metal finish everything to needing no more than 1/16" of filler coat for blocking, a realistic goal for a driver and admirable for someone just learning body work.

Because they were done so well you don't notice a lot of the mods that 48 steel did to his truck, such as top chop, cab sectioned and channeled if I recall correctly. You should read his build thread.
