No. I am going to seal it w/ por15 and paint it black. No need for undercoating if the car will rarely even see rain.

i heard the particular one shown in the pics there is a cross between a transmarobird and a C4 'Vette…just with sweet doors and a flux capacitor.

Here are the brackets that i made to mount the car on the rotisserie. It’s a 4X4X.375 wall tube. I drilled holes and welded some nuts to the outside to lock it. The inside is shimmed so it appropriately matches the outside of the main rotisserie tube. Perpendicular is a 1 1/4 SCH40 pipe that inserts into the bumper shock holes.
OK. The blaster was having some troubles with the wheel wells, so i came and ground out the heavy stuff so they can blast the rest off.
To get an idea of what the underbody looked like before it was blasted (i had already scraped a lot at this point):
YUCK!
Here is what it looked like when i showed up. You can still see that the wheel wells are more or less untouched:
PRETTY!
Then i used a wire wheel and a pistol grip sander to remove most of the rubber in the wheel wells. This shit was almost 1/8" thick in spots!!!

Yeah good choice to scrape and grind it off. That shit does not like to come off! I can’t wait to be done with this project, it’ll look great.

lookin good. Remember that POR-15 is undercoating tough but sunlight will discolor it big time. ALL of it should be painted over. Recommend you use POR-15 intermediate products to get a good paint bite into the cured rustproofing.

those little welds will make a HUGE difference in the stiffness of the car. I welded it while it was at the blaster’s.
They are doing the wheelwells and the rest tomorrow.
Jesse (suzikiriderman) has been wonderfully accommodating.
