Undercoating??? I know a lot of people don't advise it. I have worked on vehicles for quite a number of years. And where I am, in snow belt, even though I don't plan on driving it in the snow, I still think something should be applied under the car. Even water can cause rust in the seams, around the spotwelds ect. IMO. I have been wondering what other people are doing that are using undercoating and or rustproofing. Also I may do it myself. I have access to lifts, ect. IF I decide to do the doors and other panels I would remove the panesl instead of drilling holes. I have had a lot of suggestions from people, even truck bedliner spray for under the car? Any & all suggestions will be appreciated. tia Pics to follow in a day or two....

 

if you have the means to do it, doing it yourself is cheaper. I would never do it, the cars of today don't rust like the cars of yesterday

 

Didn't you see that Seinfeld episode? Putty said undercoating is a scam!

 

Think about it, have you seen a late model Mustang with any rust? Can't say that I remember ever seeing one. Now my 66, .......

 

Thanks guys for responding. Am I the only one that thinks that it needs something extra??? How about good paint?

 

When did they call you?
My rail car unloaded the car here this morning at 1040.
No call. Transport to the dealer is 15 min away.
Maybe they will call me tomorrow.

Let me know about tomorrow!!

 

I agree undercoating is not necessary nowadays. They cars are not like the ones of pre 1990ish. Don't go through the expense unless you are traveling alot in snow and salt then I might would consider it.

 

They called me about 10:00 a.m. this morning It's been a long day, working out all the paperwork. Credit union takes 1 day to process, I think I'll have her tomorrow alte afternoon..... later

 

If I were going to drive mine in the snow, ice and salt I would do it.Sound proof too as this car is noisy. It will stay in the garage and the Explorer will be the ride.

My 1995 GT is a daily driver with 105K miles on her, and I guess you'd say I'm in the "snow belt" in CT. No undercoating on the car, and not a speck of rust anywhere. I wouldn't worry about it, unless you're planning on keeping the car for 20 years or something like that.

 

Stupid credit union :bang: Loan approved, but can't get the check till friday :bang: Seems like the wait after the car got here is worse than the wait for it to be built........

 

no need for undercoating :notnice:

 

It won't be long now....tomorrow is Friday Hang in there and try to get some sleep tonight. (good luck with that )

 

Sleep? What's that? Haven't had much for a couple nights...
