Has anyone ever "sandwiched" together two or more thinner gauge pieces of sheet metal to create a skid plate (gas in particular)? Trying to get close to 1/8".

A little low on $$$ for the single sheet thick stuff.

I have a question on making my own long arms I have access to most of the tools but just need some measurements really on the arms themselves. And I will be making my own cross member as well
