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?

Everything in the military was coated with cosmoline. There is some other stuff Porshe used on magnesium to protect it, which I think is a cousin to cosmoline. I have neither, but it is getting cleaned from to back I want to get this tub cleaned and remove the spots where water hides...like in the pedal assembly. Then I can coat it with Second Skin and undercoating.
I'm also going to mix in some microspheres with the Second Skin Acoustic stuff, for some additional sound deadening and thermal insulation |

There is some other stuff Porshe used on magnesium to protect it, which I think is a cousin to cosmoline. Tectyl - I put it on my engine and transmission after rebuild. Very much like cosmoline. It melts and "flows" when the engine and trans are hot and then resolidfies into a waxy coating when they cool down. I thought it would burn off int he first thousand miles but it is still there after 2,500. |
