Scraping the tar off my 1970 floorpans. Was wondering...
They obviously put this stuff down in sheets. Did they heat the car to bond it? or figured the Sun would take care of it. Why didnt they paint the floors prior? So I always thought they laid down a flat product. But as many might have discovered, here is what I found.  A hexagon pattern on the floor. But why? Easy to re-position? Allow flexibility? Maybe to keep separated in shipping? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

From my experience that pattern change over the years. I don't recall which was first, but I have seen that hex pattern on some and a straight line pattern on others. I doubt seriously the car was heated, most likely the tar was heated. That is how I have done 356 door jamb tar over the years. Set it in place, heat with a heat gun, and press down. I suspect that is pretty close to how the factory did it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
