I haven't done it myself but an acquaintance who was building a roadrace
car used this trick to get the sound deadener out of his car. I was
there while he was doing part of it and I learned to stay out of the way
of the pieces...
If it's just a thin layer of gravel-guard type undercoating that is in
the car then it probably won't shatter with a hammer as suggested by
Mark (the sound deadener definitely does, though) but it will become
hard enough that you can use a lot of force and chip the pieces out.

My suggestion: Dry ice, and mechanical abrasion. The dry ice
hardens the stuff so that it doesn't just moosh out of the way when you
hit it with a wire wheel. Wear protection against flying bits (and
against extreme cold, too).

Theo, have you tried this? If this works, your idea is
brilliant and could save many hours of work!
