GM A-Body Skid Plate - Unboxing and Install - SendCutSend Review

Box opening time! Thank you SendCutSend! Don't get stranded with a punctured oil pan in your 68 through 72 GM A-body's (Malibu, Chevelle, Lemans, GTO, 442, Cutlass, El Camino). Have some piece of mind, and get a Skid Plate! I was almost stranded on the way home from Hot August Nights 2024, because I ran over an underground tank cover, at a gas station. Scored my Oil Pan. Scared the crap out of me. The skid plate was designed in CAD last episode, now it's time to open our box from SendCutSend, my favorite Sheet Metal fabricator.
