I can't determine what treatment was used on a 70 regarding the underside. It looks like the steel was coated with something. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, there is something in or on the underside panels, ie the floor pans. I scraped all of the old dirt and leaking fuel off...I took some scrapings outside and set them on fire. They burned. Anyway, Remember how the old time pots and pans were coated with something that made them shiny? Same sort of stuff, it seems.
The lack of rust on this tub is astounding. |

Remember how the old time pots and pans were coated with something that made them shiny? You mean seasoned cast iron pans? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Seasoned with lard, baked into the open grain structure of cast iron. Heated until the oils seeps into the metal and burns ever so slightly. Rinse lather repeat until the pores of the metal are filled with burt oil residue and things no longer stick to the cast iron. Yeah, pretty much same thing used to coat 914 engines (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
