I need good 1968-69 Hemi K-frame Skidplate pictures

[Magnumcharger]

I'm planning on putting a Factory-appearing skidplate on my Charger's K-frame.
Rather than hunt one down, I'll make one....just as I did my Torque Boxes.
What I need is some good shots of one, prefereably from several angles, with a measuring tape along side for a reference.
Is there anybody out there?

These are from 69's

I had help making some skid plates for a couple of my 68's. There is a few people out there
making these. Here is a couple pictures of the one's I put in my cars. They make 1in 2in and 3in
drop plates.

What is the purpose of the skid plate?

Why didn't they put it on all of the K-frames?

I am thinking that not all the Chargers had oil pans that went that low. I still wish they did them all that way. I had to fix my 7 qt pan the last time my 383 was out of it bay.

Those are some great pictures guys!
Any chance of getting measurements as per this diagram?

Here's what I took from my original '69 Skid Plate:

1.  1"
2.  2-1/2"
3.  4-1/4"
4.  6-1/4" (depends on where you hook the tape due to the "V" - see below)
5.  1-1/4""
6.  11-1/4"

As you might suspect from some of those dimensions, My skid plate is shaped like the ones in Dan's first posts.  The width dimension at the rear (11-1/4") is the same at the front rather than being semi-pie shaped like the one in Dan's last pictures. 

Considering the differences between the two styles, the dimensions I gave you might not help too much.  I don't know - are the '69 and '68 plates different?

I am very sure 68 and 69's are the same. The ones I put on are an aftermarket unit from

I was not interested in correctness, just wanted to have a little extra protection for the Hemi pans I like to run.

I found a great picture of a Hemi Skidplate...from a 1969 Charger 500.
It seems that there it is basically rectangular in shape, with a one inch lift in the back, tapering to nothing in the front. The backside is curved to match the contour of the oil pan relief.
It think I can come up with the dimensions from this.

Thanks to all that forwarded info.

Holy crap Robin! Eight years to make a skid plate.
Here's to hoping you win the lottery and can farm out some of your projects.
Your no spring chicken anymore.
By the way nice job.

Eight years to BUY a skidplate! Time has a funny way of getting out of hand!
