Default Making skid plates, anyone know the dimensions?

My friends dad is a blacksmith in his spare time (he can make anything from a horseshoe to a razor shap longsword) and hes looking for some side projects for a little pocket money.

I mentioned him making me some steel skid plates and he wanted to get some dimensions/ blue prints to estimate the cost for me.

Anyone have some other fun ideas for things he could for me haha

He could make a killing making/selling steel bumpers (ARB style)for the blazers...also if he's good with tubing, making tube bumpers front and rear.

you could take off that front plastic one and take that to him so he could use that as a model to go by.
