It was mostly like that when i bought it, but i had exaust leaks because of one of the pistons not firing. I've even found pine cones under neath the motor.

nice sled man
Well did more work to the sled over the last few days, just put in a few hours.
Heres what i did, pulled a part of the tunnel out because the front heat exchanger was lose and bent up(you will be able to see in some of the pictures). so ill have to re-revit it down. It also will help to do the clean up. And, ill did a bit of cleaning in the tunnel.

Cleaned it up abit more. Made some alluminum plates to prevent the plastic from melting, and on the other side to match. Also painted the front bumper bracket Silver.

No worries, Eric. You steal whatever you like.
Looking good.It would spice it up a little if you put the viper aluminum bumper supports in instead of the rusty steel one's.You can make them fit very easily.

nice man
Did some work, Been doing some cleaning , sanding and polishing. Its nice to see it starting to get together even if its just the beginning of it. So I cleaned up the exaust plates i made for the belly pan, sanded it up to 2000 grit then polished it. And also removed the paint off my tunnel and started sanding at 400 grit and also worked my way up 2000 grit. Then, will alot of elbow grease, i polished it by hand. Hopefully ill buy some buffing wheels and get my tunnel like a mirror.
Here are some pictures, sorry they are abit dark, i have to wait till its nice and sunny outside in order to get a nice clear pictures.
