On the retisserie and looking good. I ran into something out of the usual, someone had undercoated the whole undercarriage. Well it worked very well as their is no rust to be found. Now if I can get the stuff off. Yesterday I brushed the bottom with brake fluid to try to soften it up. Today or tomorrow I'll break out the Landa (high tempature pressure washer) and give it a blast. It usually melts the old "hard as a rock" dealer type stuff and it comes right off. Not too much longer and a nasty job will be done.

nice one :-) looks very solid and oh looks like the tire of your 'flipper' is flat :-)
and that thing on your wall ... is that a stand for a christmas tree or is that going to be a steering wheel :-D

Nice pictures...all of them.

I have the same stuff sprayed on my underside. I'm not sure if I like it, it does retard rust but it also hides alot.

You shoudnt use such risky topic titles

My car has undercoating all over the bottom & fenderwells too. I was afraid it's hiding rust but so far all I have found underneath is good metal.
Whenever I am working in a specific area of the car I plan on stripping the coating off that section as long as I'm there.
Right now I have my fenders off & I am using a wirebrush on a cordless to get it off. Then I am POR15 & painting with a black enamel.
I guess I could leave it but I want to know for sure what's under it & I don't like how it looks (although no one but me sees the bottom of the car).
Is the undercoating a typical restoring process? My car was restored in the early 1990's I think.

Nice to find the undercoating helped save yours. Hopefully you'll not find much hidden cancer under it. Mine was done at some point in the past yet the front floors still rusted out.[:@] I'll have to try the brake fluid when I go to remove the undercoating. Thanks for that tip.

It looks good under there. Nice and straight. Did all that crap on the floor fall out when you flipped it over?

Pattie

A heat gun or a propane torch just to soften itup with a putty knife works well on removing the undercoating but just enough to soften. The wire wheels and brushes just seamed to take to long. Having on there makes it a lot easier.
