When the rear wheel wells were under coated were the suspension stops and exhaust hangers bolted on. I think they were.So they should have alittle under coating over spray on them to be correct???anyone   thanks John   anyone have original pics?

Clearly Suspension Stops were in place, I believe rear hangers, dual, as well, in place from what I recall.

The rear wheel well undercoating was applied by FISHER BODY, before the body shell was shipped to Chevrolet, where the Chevrolet exhaust and suspension attaching parts were later installed.

Well Steve!!  :)    very obviously, dealer undercoating (if purchased) was installed by the dealer after delivery (and usually after sale, as that was a dealer option they tried to sell to the buyer!)..   so based on JohnZ's post, and what we know about rear wheel well factory undercoating (installed by Fisher), NONE of that should be found on exhaust or suspension parts...   We know you knew that!  :)

the thing about 'dealer undercoating' is that there were no standards... every dealer likely did it differently, but we do know that all the parts were installed when the dealer did it.  Some dealers even used a 'shop down the street' for applying it.  Sometimes dealer undercoating was even applied to the underside of the hood (come see my '57 sedan!).. :)   VERY head undercoating everywhere underneath and even under the hood, to the point that the hood is MUCH heavier... surprised the springs hold it up!  :)

My point exactly. I can't remember if the '68 or '69 has it listed on the dealer invoice, but one of them does. I remember the push from the dealers to add it (on my '85 Z it was done by Ziebart locally as an option). They were fairly sloppy -

So if the undercoating was applied by fisher body they also painted the bodies?Because there is body color paint under the undercoating.

Yes, the bodies (Norwood) were painted on the Fisher side (from the firewall back); Chevrolet assembly painted the front end parts.
