I am putting new seats in the Car so I have to Fabricate some Brackets to mount the seats. So I decide where the brackets are going I need to remove the Tar so I have a Nice level Base and Eventually I can Tack Weld the Bracket to the floor. You know where this is going.... So I clear the Tar from Where the brackets need to go... then Clear a little more Tar and a little more Tar. So now we have a new project.... remore the Tar POR15 and paint the floors....... The Insanity Never Stops :screwy Never. One good thing is the floors are in Excellent shape.... Very happy with what I have uncovered so far only a couple of Surface rust spots that will clean up with a wire brush.... Have a look here are a few pictures (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

That would be nice Scott. My back yard has 4" of standing water in it right now. Things are sucky at present, but looking better. FWIW, I am very proud of you for quitting such an addictive habbit. I covered it ad nauseum my last semseter and the physiology of it is quite disturbing.
Joe, How do you get such large pictures to post? Must be a resolution thing. |

Nice floor pans!! I just did this job the week before last. My floorpans were not quite as nice, more surface rust and a few small holes rusted through. Patched them up, treated it with a phosphoric etcher and painted on the POR-15.
I found that a wire brush on my angle grinder worked very well for removing the remaining seam sealer and primer on all that metal. A small propane torch helped with peeling off the tar, though a heat gun would probably be easier. My floorpan renewal was prompted by a brake master cylinder replacement. Its one of those "while you are in there" things to do. Just make sure you stop at some point! -Tony |

I agree, when Joe said " you know where this is going " I was sure we were going to major rust repairs on the floors, not enough good steel to weld the brackets to etc . . . Nice floors, Joe. Nice to see people taking care of their teeners. |

I just heated up the TAR with a Propane Torch on a Low flame did a 8x10 section at a time and it just comes right up. You have to get the feel for it to much heat makes it too gooey . PS: Have a Fire Extinguisher near by Just in case. |

What was the reason you removed the tar from in front of the seats? Not that I wouldn't have been tempted too, but that is how these projects get out of control. What is it about us guys, always going further then our original intentions? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

"What is it about us guys, always going further then our original intentions?"
There's so many rust traps on these little bastards I get/got the "Well hell, while I've got it this far apart, I might as well....." attitude. Before I knew what happened there was literally nothing left to take apart (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) .....now I just have to remember how to put it back together before senility sets in (or my beer fridge breaks causing a complete work stoppage) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Sorry J.P., thought I used the "quote" thingy when I posted (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) |
