A Red bottom?

[Gordon P.]

Guys I need a little help, I'm in the process of a body off restoration on a 1961 and found that the underside is showing off bare fiberglass. The paint shop said they would paint it the same color red when they are painting the top side less the clear coat to seal the bottom. I havent had the opportunity to look under many 61s to see what the color was, any ideas.

The original underside is indeed bare fiberglass with only such body color as would be considered normal from a paint job administered from a painter who was standing beside the car.

Tell your painter to keep the paint off your underbody and discount the price accordingly. It should be bare glass under there.
