POR-15 is good stuff, its what I've been using. I've got my entire front clip undercoated with it now and am in the process of doing the entire underside. I am going about it the "overhead" way which isnt too terrible, just dont wear clothes you want to keep, lol.

Luckily my car has no rust (that I've found yet) so we're on track. I'll have a rotiserie like end result with all the extra hours of manual labor

Its nice though - you'll thank yourself when you're done. I plan to keep my FC for the next 50 years so yea... take the time now...

Ya, I plan on keeping my FC for a good long time too but mine has rust everywhere. mostly just surface but my side frame/inner rocker is a little swiss cheesey so I am tackling that. I considered just fiber glassing over the holes in my out rocker and selling it to get a new one but I felt bad giving a car like that to someone so I decided to keep it. that and its a little difficult to find an FC without a sunroof. mine is pretty much a GTUs cept its a 10/85. its got 5 lug, 4 piston brakes up front and 2 piston back, no rear wiper, no AC, no pwr steering and the emissions were removed. no power anything or cruise, everything is manual (even the check engine light is manual! S4's didn't have the light, you need to use the check plug and lights) also have the aluminum hood and the little mini duck bill stock spoiler. I think someone was trying to make it a GTUs but they didn't make those in that year.

I have been slowly taking out my interior now and nothing looks too bad from the inside. the whole rear sections are out and looking great, now working on the floor pan interior/rug stuff. thats where I think I will find more problems. after I'm done though, it will be like brand new!
