Ken, on a very-silmilar 'thread' on the "other" message board, I described how I very-inexpensively spray-canned zinc-chromate (an 'old' Navy-trick--let's see; Navy : salt-water?? hmmm, think it'll work??) the sand-blasted undercarriage, and then applied spray-can gloss-black it it, AND THEN, had the undercarriage be undercoated (except for the framerails, etc). Now, desert-CA ISN'T exactly Toledo, OH (where I "grew-up") , & I don't make it a habit to drive in rain or snow (& yes, we get 'it' here, @ 4k elev.) , but all I used to do, when Horrie won his 3 best-in-class WPC natl meet awards, was re-spray the undercarriage, to brighten it up. btw, my undercarriage resto was done in 1980, and , so far, so-good ! I have nothing against POR, except for time & money! Hell, I've treated my swamp cooler panels with it, as it gets "harder" with water- contact, "they" say! Please find/read that thread. on the 'other' FWDLK board. Neil Vedder -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 2003 Calendar voting results and ordering information is online!
