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

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?

Around here you can buy dry ice at the local Krogers grocery store,, fairly cheap if I remember right. I've bought it a few times for coolers {no water to get everywhere}. I would think that you could hold it with with a ovenmit or gloves.

More than likely, a feller would end up having to use several methods to remove the stuff. Dry ice and a good "whacking" to remove lage chunks, a putty knife on some of it and maybe a grinder with a wire cup to get rid of the stubborn stuff.

I've used the propane torch on a drag car but I wouldn't want to use it on my Firebird as it's still somewhat of a street car. I'm hopeing to do a cage this winter, I'll try the dry ice when I remove the interior in preparation for the cage. Maybe then if I'll know if it actually works or not.
