Made the plate out of 1/4" aluminum . Cut the grooves with my radial arm saw with a carbide blade. Piece was too short so welded the end pieces on the ends. Painted grooves black and ploished the plate with a buffing wheel and rouge.
Hold down bolts are 10/24 covered that with chrome 3/8" faucet connection tubing , capped the allthread with acorn nuts powdercoated black. Will be getting a black GT to put in the center of the plate. Ford swap meet coming up in Columbus Ohio in April.

 

Good work! what is the total cost to make?

 

2.00 aluminum, 2.00 allthread, 1.00 acorn nuts, 2.30 plumbing tubing= $7.00

 

Bridging the terminals of your battery with a chunk of aluminum...

PRICELESS!

Are you sure that thing can't shift a little bit and short out? That would be tragic if it did. Not trying to be a jerk, just looks kinda close to the terminals. Maybe split some fuel line and run it along the back edge as an insulator just in case.

 

If the car gets smashed bad enough to move that plate . Then burn baby burn. PS there is a plastic strip on the back edge of the plate
