Here we go. Friday 10am and the 85 ss440 is up on her side and I'm starting to take the track and rear suspension off. Its now 4 pm and the rear suspension is off and i discover major corrosion in the underbelly. 6 pm i decided what to do to the underbelly with out scrapping the entire body. Here I am making a pattern of the underbelly. What i decided to do after pricing alum for the underbelly is take some diamond plate aluminum that i had in my shed and rivet it to the old underbelly. I'm going to sand off the diamond plate on the bottom until the curve where it starts to curve. I think it will look pretty cool with out costing me a bundle. The last pick is the old sled we just picked up as a parts sled. $150 and it has all the spare parts that i needed for the good sled.
