I enter my TD in antique car shows and they examine the undercarriage 
carefully deducting points for everything including cleanliness.  They 
look for every little thing to deduct a point for.   If you want to win 
a show, paint it as original.  If you want to show, cleanliness is 
important but don't undercoat.

Use a really good urethane with hardner and paint in every crack and 
crevice to stop oxidation.   I wouldn't undercoat any T car but keep it 
clean, out of the rain and snow (expecially salt).

Also, wax works great! spray it on liberally to your underside and then 
tar and gunk comes off for the show.  If you take care of the car and 
keep it out of the rain and salt, you won't have trouble with rust.
