The C-channel is fine, but how are you going to get a fully supported bumper along that frame perimeter? On the front, it looks like you'll be fine. On the sides, there's a pretty substantial space where the frame isn't the frame perimeter, but about 1/8" or 1/16" inside. I'd suggest putting a shim in along there to bring the frame out to the perimeter.
