DIY Engine Guard Chaps

Perhaps you've seen the leather engine guards from various vendors, and while those look and work great, they're a bit pricey. So, as an experiment we tried making our own out of plexiglass. The mounts are made out of plastic conduit clamps that dad just ground one ear off of. We made a template from cardboard first and cut the basic shape out with the sabre saw, then used the sander and files to smooth out the rest. The pictures below are fairly self-explanatory.
