Default Undercoating removal????

I just purchased a 71 Nova 5900 original miles original paint, tires, int. etc anyway this thing has been under coated since new. It's almost like grease, kind of soft. The car was sold new in Ohio. Being accustom to souther cars (no under coat) I don't know what will cut it. So far I've tried gas and kerosine and purple cleaner no luck yet. Any ideas???

Unfortunately, that is one of the best ways.

Remove fuel lines, tank etc. If it were me, I would strip the underside of the car.

Assuming the car is stripped to bare bones; we're talking body shell only... would media blasting the floor pan and maybe the frame rails to rid the area of undercoating an acceptable means of removing undercoating?

Media will bounce off, you need to strip it first. Dipping the body will remove all the undercoat. Also, if you are going to media blast it latter, you will save money by removing the undercoat before you bring the body to the blasting service.
