Lee, I am pretty sure that those are the panels being referred to. I would personally have preferred to see the bottom sections of the panels in steel - welded in, these would add to the chassis rigidity & would present a nicer finish for the inner guards (the f/glass panels have the rough hand-finished surface on the outsides).

The curved "splash panels" at the tops could still be in f/glass, although a folded steel or aly section would look nicer.

My 10c worth !

Kind Regards,

Peter D.
