Default Re: cleaning subframe area
When I did the subframe for my 70 Nova, I found that it looked like paint, but it wasn't really painted from the factory. If the subframe had any black paint on it, it was minimal. It had been dipped in some type of soft tar or cosmoline black coating. It all came off when I cleaned it with stoddard solvent. Since the car had been a garaged 30,000 mile car from South Carolina the subframe ended up with no rust or paint, just bare metal.
