[Shotimes] dewatering procedures

[Rick Glass]

Time to remove the seats, carpet pad and everything that could absorb and
hold water, hang carpet and pad over a fence (hope t don't rain) so that it
can dry out, take the shop vac to every thing in triplicate followed with
hair dryer or heat gun (be careful with the heat gun, fire and melting could
occur)...other than that, just wait it out....
I'm not sure about the exhaust water cannon, they must have stuck the ose
hose in the exhaust, lucky you...gravity didn't let it get to the block.
