We'll I finally finished up cleaning and painting my underbody and the interior floor. Those of you that have done it before know how much work it can be. The results are very satisifying, but I sure wouldn't want to do it again anytime soon. Hopefully I'll get her back on the wheels by next week. Thanks for all the tips you guys sent out to make the job easier. Here's a few pics I took.

Very nice work. What did you end up using to paint the underbody? Also, can you come and do my car?

Thanks deejay, I ended up using POR 15 on the interior floor and rustbullet on the underbody. After the rust bullet I primed and painted semi gloss.

Nice job! I agree, it is a once in a lifetime experience :)

I just pulled my motor and still get a good feeling looking down the tranny tunnel and seeing everything painted. I used POR15 in gray.

Thanks for the compliments guys. What a difference some elbow grease and some paint will make to the appearance. Now if I can just keep it looking that way. In that case, I'd never be able to drive and that's no fun.
