Hello all,
This is my first post as a "newbie" on the forum. I've got some bottom side detail questions. I am in the process of replacing the floors in my otherwise nice '65 Tiger. The metal work is all but done so now comes time to decide how to refinish the underside. As is so often the case, one thing led to another and I've now got the rear suspension and fuel tank out and the entire bottom cleaned of undercoating and related gunk and gook. What remains is what I assume to be the factory primer in a red oxide[ish] color. Question is: What is considered "correct"? Did they all leave the factory with just the prime-coat or was some undercoating applied? Or was there some body color in areas like the wheel wells? What products to use?
Also, it looks like the differential carrier was a similar [but maybe a bit different] color with the axle tubes out to the backing plates painted black... sound right?
Advice will be much appreciated. I'm not looking to ever make the car perfect but have no desire to do something "wrong" when "correct" will be just as easy.
Thanks,
Greg
