Played in the shop, started to make a splash pan to replace the rusted out one I have. It will help protect the steering rack also..

It sits under the radiator and just back a bit, it's meant to protect from stone getting caught up in the pulley and taking out the rad apparently but I'm more concerned with the oil lines on the steering rack being bent if I were to hit a small animal on the highway like I did with the panel..
