As far as the back of the panels, horsepower TV just used a product called
lizard skin on the bottom, inside and other areas of royal purples, 69
firebird. Might be something to check out, they said it works like and
undercoating, and sound deadener, and you could spray it on. But what ever
you go with, best of luck, and show us some pics as it goes along.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] sheet metal 101
Hi guys,
All of the sheet metal for my '70 is supposed to be available by the end
of
this month. I definitely want to do the front-end work myself but I'm sure
I
will have to have the back-end (welding) work done by a shop. I may also
try
to paint it myself since this is something I have always wanted to learn
to
do.
Any tips you can give about what kind of paints and tools to buy would be
great. I want to paint the back-sides of the new fenders with some kind of
rustproofing paint and am also wondering if you guys paint your inner
fenders or leave them bare. I also need recommendations for exterior
primers
and paints, and any feedback about paint guns, etc.
I think I am going to have to do the same thing with this car that I did
with the El Camino, which is to get it into nice driver condition and hope
to do a real restoration later. This time around it doesn't have to come
out
perfect, but hopefully I will not spend nearly as much money and will
learn
something (and as the guy from Apex Technical School says, I'll go home
with
my very own set of professional tools).
Thanks,
John Nasta
