Larry,
Let me tell you a story.  My 69 TR6 lived in Canada it's whole life  before 
moving to Florida and the chassis was coated with that tar/rubberized  
undercoating, which I did not like.  I put the car up on jack stands  and with 
my air 
chisel went at it.  It was dirty, noxious, exhausting work,  but it came off.  
I used a sharpened file as a hand tool when  necessary.
I went in the house, dragging my arse, to shower and rid myself of the  
remnants.  On the way to the shower I walked past the bed which called to  me 
like 
the Sirens luring Greek sailors to the rocks.  I laid down,  just for a 
moment, and fell dead asleep.  My wife caught me, and I  leaped from the bed, 
revealing a large gob of tar stuck to the pillowcase;  previously stuck to the 
back 
to my head. 
However you do it, don't lie down afterward.
