Here's a couple of my 65 body sitting on a dolly waiting for paint and then 2 of my 60.

If my 66 fiberglass had escaped the years of ravage and damage and cleaned up as nice as that, I would have left it unpainted too. Very nice.

gotta agree, that looks sick!

Thanks, all I did was spray it with Castrol SuperClean and wipe it down. I did repaint the metal reinforcements their original colors though.

Thanks. I'll assume that means the same as "That's the ****"?

I am not sure which yrs came painted from the factory?

My 63 has only partial black out (firewall). The rest is the natural glass color.

None of them came painted. Only the fenderwells had the blackout paint and a small amount of undercoating.

Nope Must be the way the light reflects. I presume you were talking about the fiberglass correct? Shemp

That's really terrific and clean 1snake, had you posted these photos in black and white I'da thought that they were factory assembly line photos.

I got to tell you that has got to be the most beautiful virgin glass that I've ever seen. Sure wish my glass on the underside looked like that,no telling how much POR15 is on mine. My car has been nothing but surprises with bubba workmanship.

Should have found this Forum years before I bought my car.

yes i thought it might have cleared, thanks .. Rob

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Those are just two examples of why I buy cars from the desert SouthWest. There isn't a speck of rust anywhere on either car.

I would like to, but last week when driving it down to Palm Springs the right rear wheel bearing failed, but it's really all the oil that was leaking out of the distributor drive seal during that trip, coating the under side. Well....it's not very pretty right now.

How did you ever get the underside of your car that clean? Was that soda blasted?

Dont know about you guys but I send the little girl under the body armed with lacquer thinner and rags she is content for hours and does a great job

funny i was under there today ON MY BACK !!!! If i only had a lift and lots of simple green and a light pressure wash it sure would be presentable . swapping rear pumpkin will be first then maybe some cleaning one day .my 61 would enjoy that !

I used nothing more than Castrol SuperClean in a spray bottle, scrubbed it with a brush and hosed it off.
