I am just finishing up taking off all of the undercoating on a 1968 1800 - what an ugly mess!!! But, I discovered something interesting. Not only were there hundreds of places where the undercoating was not attached, but also in some of those places, there was active rusting. I would have not known about the rust if I had not taken off the undercoating. I will be using either POR-15 or Eastwoods rust inhibitor as soon as the undercarriage is sand/water blasted. After that, I'm not certain. I would emphasize that I would NOT have known about a lot of rust if I had not taken off the undercoating.
