Re: [Chrysler300] undercoating

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxx>]

Hi Bob;
Maybe you ought to talk Chryslers on your show!
The major couse of rusted out floors and fenders is Undercoat. It gets hard
and brittle, then crcks. Water gets under the undercoat through the cracks
and cant get out....hence rust.
My suggestion is remove all of it and at the end of the restoration, last
thing spray ir with modern undercoat (as found on the Jap car) as it is soft
and never gets hard. Stays somewhat soft and is thus a complete barrier. A
nuisance to work around, but effective. Many won't agree, but it will solve
the rust problem.
