[6pack] Dilemma - What to do with the underside?

[ed]

John:

Unless you are going to be showing the car it would be a waste to spend a 
bunch of money to dress up what won't be seen.  Beyond that, I find the 
original tar has good sound reduction in that it does not amplify road noise 
into the car, as I have found in cars with no undercoat.

I have had experience with footwells having chips in the tar on both a car 
and a truck (non-Triumph) and I found the easiest "fix" was a good underside 
wash at the car wash, followed, when dry, by an application of "Blackjack" 
roofing cement to all deep chips, and then a cover coat of brush-on roofing 
tar; the stuff sold as a paint on leak stopper.  When done, it could pass 
for new original tar, and the total cost was under $20.00 for the car, and I 
had more than enough left over to do the truck.
