undercoating
I have a 74 Corvette have been cleaning the wheel wells out to paint around them ,I noticed that the frame looks as though it might have been undercoated, either by GM, or Zeib art during that time. Does anyone know if this was possibly done ,there's no rust , nice clean black.

Seems dealer applied undercoating(Rusty Jones) and Ziebart were popular purchases back then, even on Corvettes
Had my 69 GTO and my cousin had his 68 RT Charger Ziebarted. I'm sure some future owner down the line was crabbing about scraping it all off!
Just passed on a low mile 79 Vette, partly because of the undercoating

Just out of curiosity I pulled a door panel off, same thing, even tho they drilled the access holes and installed the yellow plugs.
But they sure loaded it up where it was easy to get to.

After just 3 years my 69 GTO had a tennis ball size rust hole in the front fender under the chrome rocker molding. Pulled the fender off and Ziebart didn't get a drop of stuff back there.
