Its real easy to buy some bricks of dry ice. Just smack it into pieces... spread the pieces over .. for example... just the drivers side floor. Let it sit for a while.. then grab a air chisel. Or even just a hand chisel. It comes right up.

The dry ice trick works real well. I've done it with the entire floor of my car. Still take s some time.. but is not even close to the stressfulness of trying to melt it off.

I wonder if this Snap On crud removal tool would work?

See you soon brother!

LOL! I figured my good old brother would chime in at some point and give me some hell. Dude, quit giving away all my secrets. I don't want anybody to understand how I went from 45th place to 44th in one year's time. It was all because of the 4lbs of sound deadener I removed, hell yah.

I'm removing the B-Quiet in spots because I was bored and decided to prep early for a roll bar and eventual mini-tubs to be installed some point in the year 2034. Also, the B-Quiet on the rear speaker shelf and rear seat supports simply was overkill. The sub and amps have been in and out several times since 1 month before last year's RTTC so that's nothing new, smartass. The Accusump was added because, as you all got to hear at last year's RTTC, my engine likes to spin rod bearings. Same 300 tires, although I may smear some B-Quiet tar all over the tires to make them stickier. Maybe I'll be a little faster because I can actually steer and stop this year. The big changes will come next year after I successfully pull off a bank heist. I need a driver so if you're up for it? I'll be fair on the split.

I'm keeping the sub enclosure and all the trunk panels and stuff. It swaps in and out fairly easily. Sometimes it's helpful for car shows where they actually give points for cute trunk setups(yawn).

It's funny you have time to give me hell about some sound deadener removal because your Apollo 13 thread is screaming out 'Update Me'. I guess you're in super stealth mode. I hope that hydro metal of yours is as straight as ever.

Can't wait for RTTC. Let's pray the weather holds. See you soon brother.

I think I should have just stayed down in So Cal until the RTTC II event. I'm still not home from BJ Auction and GRNS!

EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Dave -- I feel your pain! I've done what you're doing with the Dynamat... it's just LABOR. Although I like the dry ice freeze idea. Cold and brittle would be better than warm and gooey.


Can I put 200 treadwear on the S for the event? Maybe Mary P would beat you putting it in 43rd place!

Get a doer of liquid nitrogen, freeze that sh*t, and crack it with a hammer. Problem solved.

The exact same thing I do with age spots. That's why it looks like I play goalie for a dart team.

I was thinking the same thing; perfect use of the BFH.
