Mike,
My body and paint guy did the whole underside of mine with one of the
rock/stone guard products. It's the same color as the body, red in my case,
and really isn't noticeable unless you get your nose right up to it. I'm
glad I did it, even though Ive worked hard to keep everything original. It
just wasn't worth it to me to have to worry about every little chip and
gravel road I might want to go down. Let me know if you want me to find out
exactly what product it is. Anyway, in my mind it's a no brainer, I'd do it
again in a minute.

currently finishing up the body underside before applying final paint and
flipping back right-side-up. It's currently in black tinted epoxy primer and
looks (at long last) great.

there were any schools of thought as to rock/stone chip protection for the
fender interiors? The car will be living down a couple of miles of unpaved
road, and will be driven (although I'm striving to get most of it to
concours level). I'm a little worried as to what the rather thin tires will
do in peppering the insides of the fenders, and had thought some form of
protection (preferably invisible) would be helpful.
