fuzz, tar, etc from the tub interior for a racer?

Seems like there has to be a better way than hand scrubbing and scraping.

thanks,

Mike

Rotary wire brush on a power tool works great.

There are two types of sound deadener. The stuff on the floor comes up really easily with an air chisel. I bought one that came with 8 bits at Harbor Freight for $16 for the sole purpose of stripping my UWB project. One of the best tool investments I ever made, bang for the buck-wise.

The stuff on the torque tube tunnel, rear seat, and foot well sides is MUCH stickier and tougher to remove, but heat, a wide putty knife, and lots of elbow grease works.

Break it into sections, do one section at a time. Driver foot well; passenger foot well; driver rear seat well; passenger rear seat rail; torque tube tunnel; rear seat. Plan about an hour for each section, and you'll have it done before you know it.

Have fun

Dry Ice. Freeze it, let it contract and smack it with a rubber mallet.

I must've got lucky.. mine all came out quite easy in around 2 hours ..

the air chisel was on stand by but elbow grease and some assistance from a die grinder and wire brush got the job done.
