WD40 is a waste of time for any type of protection...use Fluid-film, goes on and sticks and provides great protection to sheet metal. I use it on my 84 W350 Cummins crewcab that I drive year round up in the North....holds up really well to the elements.

Need to park the Servprolara on the stand out in front of the Belvidere plant. Would make for a great photo.

Ok that must have been a subliminal memory thing from where you posted that photo elsewhere. The power of suggestion...!
Really cool you could get that close to be able to snap a photo. I’ve been to that plant when they were building the Caliber/Compass/Patriot. Your pic makes it look like Florida or someplace tropical!

(Maybe BLIMP will have his beige Fury up and roadworthy by that time... three cars side by side would make a nice pic)

Or Rust-oleum Truck Bed Coating that comes in a spray paint can. That would work too. Works very well

Just my .02 cents but I Have to disagree on this suggestion.
The rubberized undercoating will just trap and hold moisture beneath it and will eventually cause the area to rust out, just like POR15, powder coating or other coatings that "claim" to seal the metal....damage will occur (small nicks, chips or cracks), and water will always find a way in and by the time you discover it the damage is usually done.
Next time you go by a sandblasting shop go in and talk to the guys about these coatings and what it does to the metal beneath, also ask them how much to remove it...you'll be shocked I think. ;)

You are probably right, but I was just working with what I had. I'm sure some sort of oil is better then nothing.

I heard someone say once that some farmers used to wipe down their tractors with kerosene at the end of the season, to prevent rust.
My 73 Custom Suburban in Sandy Eggo. Currently in dry-dock with a 408 stroker project getting finished. Also just rebuilt the front suspension, replacing the original front sway bar with a fat one from Firm Feel. Waiting on a rear sway bar, also, from Firm Feel. The 70 Fury Gran Coupe in the driveway is my son's.

Hi guys,
This winter, Big Sally has been spared here in the Netherlands! No snow, no temperatures below zero .... only rain & wind!

Cool Fury.
But what are the additions on the back 1/4's?
A personal touch to make it unique?

The car is used as a hearse vehicle. That's where the funny additions come from. When (don't know if) she gets a re-paint, I will didge the additions because I really don't like how they mess up the looks of the car. Right now, I won't take them off because for each ornament, there is a hole in the bodywork ......
Furthermore, she was black originally. The company painted the car in symphonic silver with a black roof top. Now the thing is: I actualy like the color combo, so I'm not sure what to do once I will decide to give her a new paint job: completely black or preserve the current color scheme.mr. fix it

Thanks for explaining.
Once done either way you go, I'm sure it will look sharp.
