The caulking or whatever spread on the seams in the interior. Is it holding the panels together? Whats the purpose? Can/should it be removed? tia

Greeeeaaat. Just added one more thing to the "to do" list.

Any links to the "dry ice" method? Not to fond of fire.

Never tried the dry ice method....I have heard it works good also....

My concerns with the method.....1) where do you get dry ice? 2) seems like you will need a lot??? 3) how do you hold it on the vertical surfaces long enough to make it work?

In my Datsun I did the OLD FASHIONED method.....hand scraper and a rotory sander.....bad, but they didn't goop the cars up as bad back then....

In the Camaro I just used a cheap ol propane cylinder from the hardware store for home plumbing....it smelled to high heaven...do outside if you can....and made a sooty mess, but worked great....gotta feel comfortable letting your car burn while you watch it though...
