Chassis bonding - sound proofing- seam welding
Hi
I'm removing the sound deadening rubber from the floor pan with dry ice and wondering whether to continue around the areas where the rubber bonding has been injected around the panel seems near the rear wheel arches (inside) and transmission tunnel. Does this material serve any purpose? Could I seam weld there afterwards for any benefit? Hope someone has an idea on this. thanks

Yes, true.
But I still think you need to add something back after seam welding, otherwise it will still rust and the car will deteriorate very fast.

Rust??? What's that? Fortunately I don't have to worry about such things in Aus. Thanks for the advice. I'll just remove the sections at the rear and treat with POR 15. I'll be able to keep an I on it anyway as the'll be no insulation or carpet covering when I'm finished with the race prep. Thanks again

I simply used a heat gun, it allowed me to get most of the deadening off around those areas whilst still keeping the rubber in. Then just a rag with some turps cleaned off all the remaining residue nicely.
However how has the dry ice gone? I was going to use that method but couldn't be bothered driving down to the local Air Liquide so whipped out the heat gun instead.

Guess you never wash your cars either? Paint will be stripped by pick-up stones/gravel on the road/track.smashigcraft wrote:Rust??? What's that?
