Yes, tar sheets don't rust but the metal underneath sure does. Electric mult tool with a scraper blade.

If you've got it up on stands, I found it easiest to have the heat gun on its lowest setting, and position it nozzle up on the shop/garage floor beneath the area you're cleaning. That way, you heat the metal and the layer of tar just adjacent. Using the heat gun from the passenger compartment works, but you have to heat the entire layer of tar to the 'gooey point', which I found was a bigger mess.
