I worry about debris damaging them & wondering if an aluminum sheet bonded to the bottom might help w/that. Your thoughts?

Not sure what anyone is doing with the aftermarket fiberglass front tubs to prevent damage from rocks.
Maybe it's all about fiberglass thicknesss.

The tubs are about 3/16" to 1/4" thick, extremely sturdy. I don't think it's an issue with the fiberglass cracking, I think it's more of an issue with the paint cracking. With that being said, I plan on spraying the underside of mine (front and rear) with a rubberized coating, such a Line-x or Speedyliner. I have a lot friends that have built high dollar glass street rods and that's what they have used with great success. Thanks for the great questions and feedback!
