Re: Frame epoxy

["Dave Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

My suspicion is that you are referring to the later cars that were 
undercoated al la "Ziebart" after they sat in storage at the prep 
centers for a while. I've seen this on many 1982-production cars. It 
is a black wax substance sprayed over the normal grey epoxy. In the 
beginning it probably did some good as far as retarting moisture, but 
now is it brittle and flaking off too. At this point in time it is 
probably not doing any good, and may be causing some moisture-
retention problems that the epoxy does.

IMHO it makes working on the bottom of the car a pain in the neck. 
Some of the application was done non-to-carefully and really makes a 
mess when you go to take things apart such as fuel filters and 
cooling piping.
