[6pack] 6pack Digest, Vol 3, Issue 70

[Bill Palmer]

If you are going to the expense and trouble to repaint a 40 + year old car why
not take the tar undercoating off? It took about 4 days bit I was able to
check for rust.  My restoration now repainted looks like she just rolled off
the assembly line.  I plan to use a mat inside the cabin to quiet any road
noise. Understand the dealers applied the tar coating.  I also replaced the
plastic grill on the air intake with a solid metal cover.  Old plastic grill
allowed debris to collect in the inside front panel.  That blocked water
drainage from letting the water out.  Found rust had formed as a result.
Funny that the Brits with so much rainfall would have figured that out.  Used
a sturdy putty knife and needle airgun to remove the tar.  It was a nasty job
last summer.  Good luck in restoring your car.
