It's looking positive for a full pan replacement. After the new galvanized pieces are welded in, how should the bottom of a '70/4 be finished?
The shop is advising primer on top of pan with a resilient black finish on top of that. The car is Canary yellow, so I don't think an all yellow finish on the bottom and wheel wheels is going to look too good. The car was delivered with the typical midwestern "rust protection" method of an application of black, semi-soft, tar-like material that in places is still intact!. You can scrape parts of it off, and find yellow paint underneath. Unlike its very early existence, this car will never see salt saturated roads again. I think some road debris, water penetration protection is warranted, but what color(if any), finish, application? Suggestions are very much welcomed. Attached image(s)

Unless you plan on having the rest of undercoating removed from the car to reveal the original finish, paint it body color then body shutz it to match the rest of the underneath.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Since Paul is my friend, he would expect me to say this, but......... I wouldn't stop there. I'd make certain as much of the original, dried out asphalt-based compound that was even SLIGHTLY loose was chipped off & "shutz'd" also. This stiff is ancient & a small crack can absorb moisture underneath & start rusting later. If nothing else, I'd put the car on a lift & rub a solvent into the old stuff to re-energize it. BTW group - he's re-doing this car correctly. Hope he takes lotsa pics during the progress. THIS could be a PCA Parade winner when it's finished. Of course, he'll have my help, since I'll be moving back to Cincinnati next year. I've also built up a pretty nice supply of spares he doesn'y even know about to help. Some of them are already being restored. What are friends for? |
