If you looking for some pictures of under the car here you go. I have a couple of threads. Two that are mine and one that I just posted pictures in.
I made my own SFC's because I did some custom work and there are not any SFC that would fit my application.
When I made mine I used tubing that was 1 3/4" DOM. The wall thickness is .134 The mounting plates on the front are 7ga (3/16") mild steel and the rear mount is attached with a two part mount system. The first part was welded in prior to the SFC and is a U shape part that was welded in 360 degrees and form fitted in there. It was about 7" long. Then the rear of the SFC slid up in there and was welded along the sides and bottom. (hard to explain but worked out great and made for a perfect fit!)
I have a air/hyd mandrel bender. So you can do it different but this was how mine were made.
See attached links for pictures and fabrication of the SFC's
