Beware undercoatings! They can retain moisture and cause more damage than they're supposed to prevent.

That has to be the dumbest thing yet I've heard on these forums, undercoating is sealant not a sponge! The only way it could trap moisture is ifit was applied when the car was wet, which I'm sure would not happen!I just got done taking the body off a 1967 Galaxie 500, a 40 year old car, the only places that had rust on them were...tada, the spots where they didn't apply the undercoating to. And I might add that stuff is a real bugger to get off metal surfaces!

Not to be off topic, but my aunt had a 1967 red Galaxie 500 that she bought brand new back in the day. She said it was the best car she ever owned and was sorry she ever sold it.

Yes, I have seen surface rust under my car when it was on a lift. The guys at the shop pointed it out to me and said, a car (at that time) only 8 months old should not have rust on it like that.
Eventually I want to switch out the driveshaft and get an aluminum one.

Like I say, get the oil underspray treatment, it's cheap, cost me $110, and it makes the underside look awesome as well as Protecting it.

Where do you go to get work like that done?
