Robert,
You've given me a great reason never to touch the
tar-like undercoat on my BJ7. I bought it from the
original owner who turned it into a race car in 1965.
It all seems like a really solid original car under
there and I'd like to think it's as rust free as it
left the factory under all that goop. Kind of like a
tree falling in the forest when no one's there; if I
don't go mucking about in the undercoat, it will
always be rust-free.
Sticking my head in the sand,
Rick
