So now I have the car settled in and in my garage. The body's off and in storage. This weekend I plan on stripping off the suspension and cleaning up the chassis.
I want to celabrate the aluminum chassis. Is leaving it unfinished the way to go or should I do a spray clear coat the exposed engine bay and front clip area? I live in southern California and it won't see much weather except for when I wash it.
I'm leaning toward leaving it bare. The reason is that the aluminum will continue to oxidize and I don;t want the clear coat to bubble and look bad after a few years. I'd rather have it look bare and let the chassis age as-is.
Anyone out there care to comment?
