from each of the individual metal components
which, when welded together, comprise the body
shell assembly. Panels forming the cowl and dash
and underbody incorporate attachment provisions
for the front end skirt assembly and rear suspen-
sion system. These panels, therefore, contribute
the greatest amount of strength to the body
assembly.
UNDERBODY GENERAL
SERVICE INFORMATION
Since each individual underbody component con-
tributes directly to the over-all strength of the
body, it is essential that proper welding, sealing
and rust-proofing techniques be observed during
service operations. Underbody components should
be rust-proofed whenever body repair operations,
which destroy or damage the original rust-proofing,
are completed. When rust-proofing critical under-
body components, it is essential that a good quality
type of air dry primer be used (such as corrosion
resistant zinc chrornate). It is not advisable to use
combination type primer surfacers.
