Removing Cab Undercoating
The undercoating on lower firewall and cab floor is really hard. Was not sure to remove or leave as it has worked to protect the truck for over 50 years. Decided to remove as truck is now in humid climate, and not sure if moisture may get under it, along with driving.
Used three step process to remove, 1). scraped dry to remove looser undercoat. Got a lot off in 2 hrs: 2). Next sprayed mineral spirits on and scraped for three hours, got some more off that softened up: 3). Still some really hard stuff left, sprayed/brushed paint stripper on that said it takes undercoat off "Captain Lee's". Worked 3 more hours and removed most. Finished up this step by cleaning with rag soaked in the mineral spirits. A few difficult to reach spot still have the extra hard stuff left. Maybe another hour or two to completely remove all the undercoating.
Still have front fenders yet to do
