I just removed the cover on my 36 Fordor and there appears to be a hard, black, thick undercoating on the underside of the piece. I haven't seen anything in the books about there being any thing like this on the cover. Should it be there? Thanks, Tom

is there undercoating on the rest of the floorpan or just on the cover?

You could be looking at the remains of the foam seal .

I don't think it is the remains of the foam seal, as it does cover the entire transmission cover, but not the rest of the floor pan. Tom

Definitely sounds like the foam seal . Does it kinda look like black melted bubble gum ?

I removed the foam seal. This appears to be sprayed on and covers the entire part from the firewall to the outer wings and to over the u-joint housing.

Can you post a pic of this ? Does it look like the real rough sound deadener inside doors-quarters etc ? I only have 33-34 stuff now and none have this . Did have a couple 36's way back when and I do not remember anything on the covers of those either.

Someone probably had the cover out at one time and had it undersealed to cut down on the noise and heat. Many times they were taken out to replace the seal around the shift tower.

It does resemble the sound deadener. It is definitely sprayed on and is rough and is wavy. Does sound like it isn't original. Thanks to all.

My original Rouge Class '35 fordor sedan has a tar based undercoating on the bottom of the sheetmetal transmission cover. Don't know if this was done at the factory or by a previous owner. John
