A hot couple hours spent under the car today.

That looks like it could have been made just a few weeks ago. Dirt removed, old paint came off with it. Scrubbed down with a wire brush around the welds. Salt doesn't harm cars? Piffle.

Applied some krylon rubberized underseal. It appears to be the same stuff used on the car originally. It's poopoo brown and sprays on looking like it was applied with a trowel.

As such, it received a coat of black paint (can says it's paintable).

Doesn't look like much, but with the garage at body temperature, after a couple hours even the big drum fan does not help. 

Ripped the paper off the exhaust tonight, looks good under there. Other side to do then that's the hard to reach parts complete. After that, the inner wings, then the suspension cradle then.. it's done.
