I know this topic has been talked to death but everything I came across thru searches on the site is old news - what was true in 2002 is not necessarily true now. So please forgive me for bringing up this topic yet again....
I am doing a complete restoration (on my own) of a '67 289V4 coupe in Lime Gold Metal. The undercarriage is the next stage (I will sandblast), and I want my undercoating ready to go for application as soon as I have clean metal and I complete the bit of welding I need to do. I am not planning on building my car Concourse level, but do not want to slit my own throat if I change my mind down the road and want to start looking at points. Essentially I want this car to be back to new car reliability (yes, I know that means a lot of new parts and such) and to look like new as well. The car will be a summer only car, and probably not too much rain driving either.
I have read about POR-15 and Chassis Saver, they seem to be the two most popular treatments; but for every positive thread there is a corresponding negative thread. When I was looking last summer on this topic, it seemed that POR-15 was the way to go but now I see peeling issues- so much for researching ahead of time. What I am looking for is something to protect and stop the rust (sandblasting can not get rid of 100% of the rust), and have good strength against stone chipping and such.
I know that this is the best forum for advice on old Mustangs, bar none. I know that my answer will come from you, and in advance I thank all of you.
