Maybe your car was the inspiration for Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps"? Wow!
It could have been. The owner daily drove this car since new until the mid-eighties. We are (unfortunately) in Illinois, so the salted roads really took effect. Between the undercoating and the oil leaks, most of the floor was in great shape...lolMaybe your car was the inspiration for Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps"? Wow!
This car was completely undercoated when he purchased it. Much of that has come off already, but I assume the dealer did it as he told me he has not had it done. The shop did not coat anything, but I will be applying some undercoating to the inner and outer wheel wells, as well as the inner fenders. At this point, the car will be driven to shows and for enjoyment, but not during winters or even rain for that matter.Back in the day, no manufacture did any type of corrosion protection. Didn't matter if it was U.S., Japanese or Euro. Is the shop applying and inner coatings as they work?
Most of that undercoating I believe was applied at the dealership back in 1968. I'm not sure if any of these cars were undercoated at the factory. I am just touching up what I can with the spray on undercoating from a can.Some of your undercoating shots look like mine. Snow drifts.
