What should not be undercoated?

Just as the topic says. What should not be undercoasted under my bird?
What areas beside exhaust and moving parts should I make sure there is no undercoating?
Should fuel lines, eigther the greenishing looking ones or the steel ones be undercoated? Will they corrode otherwise?
Thanks
Adam

It's not real common for a fuel line to rust through, however, it sure doesn't hurt to have undercoating on them either. If they're already undercoated, consider it a little extra insurance against the enemy(rust)!

You might want to also look at POR-15. It's a great rust-stopping paint that's been written up by many magazines. I used their "Super Starter Kit" when I rebuilt my '84 axle, and it came out great. This way in case you find rusted spots, you can stop them from rusting further. Check 'em out at http://www.por-15.com ...

(And never paint your driveshaft! It kills the balance.)
