Ken, Please let me know what you learn from this post. I think I decided not to use any undercoating on mine. I plan on using sound deadening sheet/blanket material inside the car under the carpet and in the trunk. I plan on using some spray material inside the doors for rustproofing/sound absorbtion. I figure the POR-15 should be good enough to protect the metal on the bottom and the car will be garaged so I am not worried about rotting. I spent too long scraping the old stuff off go just just go ahead and re-apply it. I figure the sound deadening is the most important thing to worry about at this point. If I am missing something please set me straight.

Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2003 08:40:26 -0700 Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I had the under side of the body sand blasted. What a beautiful site, all that white metal where the rust was. My debating over how to finish the underside of the body will soon end. I am looking for final advice before priming and painting. I plan on sealing the metal with POR-15 with a top coat of gray enamel applied before the POR-15 is fully cured. My debate is on the application of undercoating. Should I use the tar based product like the original or go with a black polyurethane bed liner. any opinions? Which areas of the under body should be coated with undercoating? Which areas should be masked i.e. area above gas tank, muffler heat shields, transmission tunnel, etc.? How far up the firewall should undercoating be applied (up to the seam below the heater and master cylinder) ? Any advice will be appreciated.
