Hi,I 'm Ken.The stuff you are scrapping is sound deadner;it is normal for
this to be there.Under this sound deadner(depending on year)you could find paint
or primer,this stuff is part of why your car is still here!Auto paint jobbers or
summit parts magazine will have this stuff;look for Dino-mat(spellings wrong but
its called that)a very good product!The bolts should be replaced with stainless
steel:try MrG's in texas (should have his address on the site) tell them what
you need they will help! Ken

Subject: IML: 1964 Crown floor pan
I have recently removed the carpet from my Imperial, and I am
now in the
process of scraping the remnants off the floor pan so that I
can address
the rust. What is that stuff? It looks like
undercoating. Was this
normal? Was there paint under it--I
can't tell, about all I can see under
it is rust or what could be either
bare metal or
primer/paint. Surprisingly, even with as much rust as
there is, yet again
no rust through.
Also, the bolts that hold the
body to the frame (at least I presume that is
what they are for) seem to
be quite rusty. Are these special bolts, and if
so is there anywhere
that I can get them? I figure as long as I have
things to this state
I may as well replace them (plus I would hate to have
them break when I
really need them). Is there anything else that I should
replace
while I am replacing the bolts?
Thanks,
Mark Elliott
