Look at my poor gas tank skid plate

The P/O did some cutting on this for some odd reason. Moron!

It could probably be "fixed" as it is solid otherwise.

Was it cut to fit a hitch?
Hard to tell from the pics.
Why fix it, won't it still work okay?
Maybe I'm not seeing what your wound up about, sorry...

May have been cut for a hitch of some sort and the sides for exhaust? It would work just fine the way it is....I was just hoping for a near perfect one to put on my 70 CST. No biggy. I could weld in new steel, grind it smooth and paint...problem solved.

Yeah, looks like it was cut for a hitch maybe. I can understand why you'd want it fixed. Like VT says, it'll still work and if your 4wheeling seriously it probably won't matter. But if you want it more for show then I'd fix it too.

Aren't the two jagged torch cuts on the front edges for exhaust clearance? I agree the rectangular cutout is probably for a hitch.
