Re: [Chrysler300] Removal of 55 year old undercoating

Hi, Carlton:

I used a Bernz-O-matic torch and a putty knife to take off the under coating on my E. I am the second owner of this car and questioned why the entire bottom was coated with tar. My '64 only had the rear wheel openings coated to deaden the sound while driving. Anyone, was this the norm for the day?

Best,
Ron Kurtz

Hello from the very snowy and very
cold Northwood’s of Wisconsin,(and Eagle River, home of the
World Championship Snowmobile Derby) I am currently in the middle of
the very unpleasant job of removing old and hard but very
well attached old undercoating on my 300H. The bottom of the
car is complete (sand blasted and painted although there was
not much undercoating left) so it is only the inner and
outer fenders (with thicker undercoating) that I need to
clean of undercoating. The fellow who will be painting is
reluctant to try to sand blast it off so I am using PB
Blaster, Liquid Wrench, and kerosene to soften and then
scrap off the undercoating. I’m working in about 50F
temp in my garage so I could probably warm up (kerosene tube
heater) the fenders further if that would help. Or if
there are stronger solvents that don’t evaporate too
quickly, that would probably help too.I’ll appreciate all
suggestions.Thanks,Carlton Schroeder
