You might try Brush Cleaner from a paint store. It is similar to mineral
spirits but a much more active solvent. Let us know what you find that
works. Robin

Subject: [Tigers] Interior Replacement Question
All,
The previous abuser...I mean...owner of this car chose to go cheap on the
interior. He used what appears to be undercoat or truck bed coating on the
floor and used some sort of asphalt mat material as an insulator.
This may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but we have baked in this
car in the summer, so I will be doing the following:
- Strip out all the coatings to bare metal
- POR15 the metal
- Lizardskin insulating paint
- Additional 3/8" fiber insulation on firewall area
- Martha Christiansen ProPrep interior
I am still stuck on step 1, I have spent endless hours wire brushing, then
pouring mineral spirits on this tar-like crud and countless rolls of Bounty
to get the stuff up. I've tried a heat gun, BrakeKleen, and lacquer thinner
without as much success as the mineral spirits. Anyone got a hint or two,
maybe a better solvent? My right arm hasn't been this tired since I was
14....
