I've never seen the stud and nut undercoated before, always been taped off. Does not seem to make sense from a production stand point because to get the seat out of the car you'd have to take off all the undercoating. Did A-Bodies do this differently? This is the area I'm refering to:
All this nitpicking on the board just tells you how nice of a job you did on the car. We are forced to argue about the minutia!
Hi Tom! Sorry I missed this in an earlier post. I promise to pull the original pictures with ALL of the seat studs and post them for you. Everyone had undercoating on the studs and nuts. It did make it very difficult to take them off. Even some of the strands of carpet (that came through the holes) were plastered with undercoat.

Dave I'm certain that your team duplicated the spray pattern exactly. What I thought was odd was the coverage (or lack of) on the brake line from the factory.

I will also post a picture of the other side of that area to show you what I am talking about Alan. The line is covered VERY heavily on the reverse side of the coils that you don't see in that picture. There is actually a bare area on the underside of the car where the line was blocking the undercoating. The coverage went around the line but did not get on the backside of the coils. You can only see the trailing residue of undercoating (on the backside) in that picture!

....it's odd that the brake line got a minimal amount of undercoating while the floor pan on either side and underneath appear to have a generous amount. 
This is why you can't judge something from just one picture taken at a skewed angle. I took a couple of photos of the same area to show just how MUCH undercoat was applied on the brake line. The photo you referenced shows only a two dimensional "look" at the floor pan. There is a step that actually comes down and the line is partially blocked by that area. You can see where the undercoat has a bare area behind the line. Also notice the rubber floor plug that exhibits the same bare spot BEHIND the plug, due to the directional spray of the undercoat. Had we covered the back side of that brake line it would have been a contradiction to the direction that it was sprayed! THAT is the type of incorrectness that ruins many of the OE cars that compete in the program. (Lack of thought as it pertains to the trajectory of how things were physically applied or finished.)

Here you go Tom. I personally took the passenger side nuts off of the front seat and remember how hard it was to remove them. They were tight (due to the undercoat) all the way down the threads. Dave Stuart said the driver side was the same way when he removed those. Here are some "before" pictures.

You think that one is good..........did you hear the one about the dork who started a six page thread (on his car) only to come back from a Show and receive ZERO positive responses or remarks? Nothing but the sound of crickets in the Forrest!!! That poor...poor envious soul! 
Obviously it a tough crowd.
That guy must feel like Rodney Dangerfield.

I wondered that too...  I thought those tires were correct for my Cuda as well, but from what I understand those dual stripe only came in 78 series and my car was coded for a 70 series tire. I assume it was an upgrade for the Valiant that Dave's was not coded for.
