<Tom, You got the easy life! I am doing a restoration on a 1967 Honda
S800 convertible. The owner wanted all the undercoating off the Inside
and Outside. The inside has undercoat (sound deadening) which is laid
down in sheets - melted or glued on. Plus it had huge rubber mats glued
to the tunnel and was undercoated completely on the bottom.
Since this was a complete restoration, the body was off frame and was
easy to flip the body over. After the stuff was chipped off I used a
big 7" grinder, like a heavy buffer, to remove the stuff to bare metal.
It took a week to completely clean off the bottom. Then the inside and
bottom was sand blasted to get the residual areas.
The last time he came over to inspect progress he complained that there
was still seam sealer inside on the floor. Arggghhhhhh!!!!!!! I told
him if....

At least he's a customer, and I hope, a paying one!
Now don't get me wrong guys when I say this, cause I love my Alpine as much
as the rest of you, but it did pass my mind if it would it be easier to do
if I were under an old Ferrari? That way when I was finished, the car would
be worth exponetially more!
