    I know that curious yellow was for the 71's. I'm kind of on a budget and I had 2 Gal of PPG urethane that's been on the shelf for over 8 yrs. I probably saved $800 - $1000. If I wasn't on this budget I surely would have went with FY1.

    As far as a driver...Yes things got carried away. I have never had an E-body this clean underneath (no rust or pitting) and one of my employees talked me into it. I will be undercoating the wheel wells.

    FE5... wait until I get to my 70 Challenger conv. The value and sale of this Cuda is what will allow me to keep the 70 Challenger conv and restore it.

    I always enjoy all the encouraging comments. That's what makes CCC an awesome site. :2thumbs:

    That's the fun "Curious" part about Curios Yellow AKA Citron Yella.   In different lights, it can look totally different.  Sometimes it looks yellow, sometimes it looks green.   A lot of people look at and go, what color is that??? :bigsmile:

    Is that 3M undercoating? I'll be taking mine off and wanted to know what that is.

    Looks great.  :thumbsup:
