Hi all. Im in the fun part of my 69 restore.. doing all the fine detail work before paint. I hope you dont mind if I hit you all with some originality questions.

I did find this as a reference and its been a GODSEND! I never knew the hinges were black! How cool! and it just so happens mine is sand beige!

But.. here is my first question. I know what the floor pan looks like from the factory.. a difficult to achieve dimple undercoating finish. Is that SAME finish done on the entire front pan? And does it go underneath the front suspension mount points or did they sort of miss that area when the sprayed? also, how high does it go in terms of where the front pan meets the verticle sheetmetal? Did they stop where the pan stops or did they keep going all the way up?

thanks

The "schutz" was sprayed the same all over the bottom and in the wheel wells. It was even sprayed on the fender lip itself and on the rockers below the deco trim. On the nose bulkhead, it didn't go up too much on the vertical. Some overspray, that's about it.

The point of the stuff was as much rock, pebble and sand protection as it was a rust preventative. In fact, it 's been more or less shown that after the car gets much older, it helps promote rust by holding water under and next to the bare metal. Certainly this is the case with the pre-galvanized cars, such as yours.

Of course, the stone guard, as Wurth calls it, was used all over the engine bay and the whole gas tank. There are other areas, but I can't think of each and every one right now. Think along most seams.
