LineX Undercoating Weight

dbdragracing · #1 10-25-2007, 03:54 PM

I have a 1970 Ford Mustang Mach1. In 2008 I plan to perform a rotissorie restoration on. I have been thinking about LineX-ing under the car, cowl area, and trunk. Im curious as to how much weight this will add? Thanks.

LINE-X actually has a undercoating product called Astroline. I don't do much underbody work (not near saltwater, don't have a lift) so I don't know much about Astroline. But, if you want regular LINE-X, it weighs .7 pounds per square foot at 1/8" thickness.

For these jobs, we used regular LINE-X. The Plymouth has about 1/8" and the truck (being built for heavy off road use) has about 1/4". We also used a special primer to increase the adhesion to about a 2,000 pull off strength.

Thanks for the info and pics. It looks great! Im definitely doing mine. I wonder if I should do the inside floor pans of mine also? I know I want the underneath, cowl, and trunk done. I want to restore this car once and start enjoying it. So any rust prevention will be used. Here is a pic of her:
