I've been reading alot about removing the tar on the floor pans lately. My floors look great inside and out. Can't see any rust under the car. I would like to get by without scraping the tar off. Is there any way you can determine if there is rust under the tar without scraping it all up? It looks like a very labor intensive job. I try to avoid hard work whenever I can but I am finding that to be impossible when working on a 30 year old car.
Cheers, Elliot |

So far so good! I used my butane torch and scraped up a 6x6 inch patch of tar. All I found under it so far is clean shiney metal!! Then I ran out of butane. The small patch I did though came off really easy. Looks like a Home Depot run for more butane.
Cheers, Elliot |
