Greg, is not the purpose of undercoat to prevent rust, so why do you want
to remove it, its doing its job, you remove it then you are going to have
to replace it again after you have let the rust get a new start from all
the chemicals and water, moisture etc. that you will be using. I have a
1970 V/W Karman-Ghia that the PO had Z-Barted 20 years ago, and to this
day no rust on this car, so why would I remove it. If the U/C is in place
in the frame and looks heavy enough don't you create a problem that has
been solved for you years ago. Just my .02
