Prepping Underbody for Primer

More cleaning and prep-work in anticipation of getting the bottom of the car back into epoxy primer. I think I should be able to do it tomorrow if all goes well. Today I continued the cleaning ritual of the wheel wells, as well as wiping down all the new metal that I've installed. Looking at other people's restoration pictures, I feel even more sorry for myself that my car got such a nasty post-factory undercoating job. It seems that other people didn't have nearly as much of a chore removing their undercoating as I have.

I also wiped pretty much everything down with a Scotchbrite pad soaked in OxySolv, to treat any bare steel, as well as convert surface rust present underneath the fenders and in a few other places. Should make a nice pre treatment for the PPG DPLF, and they recommend using a conversion treatment such as this. Tomorrow, I'll wipe the whole underside again with PPG DX330, which is a mild solvent, to clean up the residue from the OxySolv. Then it is time to prime! Full report to follow.
