Question #1 what did you use to get it off?
#2 want to do mine?

1. Wire wheel, heat, elbow grease.
2. There's a guy here with a sore elbow, give him a few days ...

Steve, I heard dry ice is also good. Hold it on there and they undercoating just pops off. Just don't stick your tongue on the dry ice. ;~)

Unfortunately, dry ice is not what it is cracked up to be. Liquid Nitrogen is the nuts in cold removal technique.

I use chemicals and a Dynazip for schutz removal.

Now it can be told: the car is actually a top-secret development mule for ITF(lintstones). I'm in position, making VTEC noises. Now all I need are 4 guys with thick-soled shoes to be my axles (and brakes!).

I think your in the wrong spot. :~)

Given how much ballast you're going to have to add, why remove all of that weight that was down as low as it could go?

[dj10]

Not just low Josh but maybe it's needed else where to balance the car better. I'd bet there was 50# of undercoating on that car and it's small.

Given how much ballast you're going to have to add, why remove all of that weight that was down as low as it could go?

1. Pickiness - the paint will go on easier and look better with a smooth tub.
2. Flexibility in case of a future class and/or weight change.
