Cleaning floor boards
2 Attachment(s)
Spent some time cleaning the undercoating off the floor boards of the 69 L78 conv today.
|
absolutely killer floors.
|
What did you use?
|
Its amazing how the under coating protected them. I used a heat gun with a plastic scrapper and them wiped them down with solvent from my solvent tank.

Real nice job John.

FWIW on floors chassis etc which have been subjected to open headers and soot, carbon caked on, I have used Wal Mart / dollar store HD oven cleaner with great results, FWIW the non smelly stuff isn't worth the time or effort.
The fuel tank was ridiculously covered in carbon from open headers. The axle housing had 1/8-3/16" thick carbon flaking off when we got the car.... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/hj...p=w800-h629-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/c0...t=w800-h600-no |

Thats good to know. I found heatimg the first layer with a propane torch goes much quicker, then use a heat gun comes right off.
Looks like the floor brace is K22 and the car is 11D seems like body parts were made right before the body was assembled. Thats it I am done scrapping leave the rest for the next owner. The driver front floor has a little rust not bad for it being a PA car most its life |
69...
