- Is there an eazy way to remove this stuff. Some places it's over 1/8 inch thick. I have a pad, for the drill, that works but the pad wears out too fast. It's like a brillo pad coated in plastic or ru

- I guess there are several thoughts on this. When we first got another tub, it was Z-Barted and all the black goo looked messy. After removing a little bit of it in places, we decided to leave it...it

- Hey, sounds like you were lucky to find a car that didn't need any repairs/welding to be done and thus were able to leave the protective undercoating in place. Unfortunately, we've never seen one of

- Thanks for all the suggestions. Matt suggested a heat gun to soften up the undercoat. I liked that idea but didn't have one. Luke said fire worked for him, so I used my propane torch. The stuff don't
