TJ-
The truck bed liner was a helpful-hint from a friend of mine that restores cars for a living ($200k+ value cars). What he told me was that the 3M undercoating is pretty fragile stuff when under an engine bay. Its not very heat resistant and when you spill fuel on it, it gets soggy and starts peeling. That would be enough for the car to start rusting again.
I can paint over the bed-liner with my spray gun when I paint the top of the engine bay, but I am not sure that I will. I plan to coat the whole trans-tunnel in the bed liner stuff and then use some dynamat-extreme or the like inside there, or under the carpet because this car is LOUD. There is no insulation, so I figure 10lbs of dynamat placed correctly through the car should make a much more comfortable car. I have already removed over 80lbs of shit that will NOT make its way back onto the car when I am done with the resto, so its all good on the weight factor. I should still be under 2200lbs in street trim 8)
