Paul,
Thanks for the note re: your, er..., rather your car's, underside. Nicely done and looks nice. My '74 tii needs a good belly cleaning, degreasing, and general tidying-up. Will you be so kind as to provided a little of your experience?
You stated, "...I cleaned the trunk and underside down to metal and completed a POR15 process."
1. How did you go about cleaning your belly and POR15'ing? Take it to the pressure car wash? Up on stands and crawling under? Hand washing? etc.?
2. How did you manually clean the belly? Chems? Soap? Pressure? Scraping?
3. How did you go about applying anti-rust? Applied over all components, including frame, etc.?
Photos of my car and a few representations of its underside are attached.
Thanks for any help, wise counsel, and sage advice.

"Hope that helps."...it certainly does, Paul. THANK YOU for giving me lots of good recommendations to consider and to keep me busy. I think it does our cars a great injustice to ignore the belly. I guess it is OK to do so; however, what really gets me is to see a nice car with a dirty engine bay. AAAGGGHHH! I don'r really mind if it is cluttered or old or needs mechanical/electrical attention or whatever, but for Heaven's sake, clean the damn engine and bay!
I have used Rust Mort as a rust stopper and preventative. Works easily and well. However, I will try the three-step POR-15 process b/c so many of our 02'ers have done so.
Good luck with your car.

Roundie,
I, too, love original/stock '02 steel wheels and always desired same in 14x6 size. However, I never thought such combo would ever exist. Your project looks sweet, indeed. Please update me/us re: how your alterations were done and how the project works out.
I like my Panasports but would drop them immediately for your new invention...

Jason, I might need a couple of doors for my '74. Know a source? Larry Gray
