To undercoat or not to undercoat

[Rick H]

That is the question..

The 70 Z is in the bodyshop and getting ready for it's long, long overhaul and I have a decision to make. The car is completely undercoated and from the looks of it, it's either factory or done very professionally at the dealer.

Should I go with the red oxide look or should I have the undercoating put back on?? This car is going Day 2 and will be a driving/show it off car.

This car is an 06B car with big 3 piece spoiler (COPO if you will). Car will be painted original color, Classic Copper with white stripes and have original standard Saddle interior.

I have posted some pictures of the undercoating and some other pictures showing Z/28 only areas.

Disregard the bright yellow paint for the previous owner had no clue. And before anybody ask, the original 12 bolt will be going back in as well

Undercoat or not????
