The Ford Barn

Has anyone had good experience with the engine pans from the suppliers that are powder coated and bolt to the frame on the side away from the engine and slip under the engine, but above the pan on the engine side? I have originals that are cracked near the mounting tabs, tabs missing and generally needing complete restoration. My car is not a high point car, so I'm looking for utility without a lot of expense. About $80 per pr. seems probably what I'd pay a welder to fix what I have and I'd still have to paint or powder coat, so this seems like a bargain, if they can be made to fit by your average person, not a highly skilled body man.
Thanks for any comments. I would like to get these in place to restore the correct air flow in the engine compartment, which seems to be the purpose of them originally, is it not?
