Re: Any suggestions for removing sound deadening material?

Matt,

I don't have any suggestions, but I do have one
caution.  If the material has anything which appears
to be fibrous in it, it could be asbestos.  On my 66
Rambler I didn't need to remove it (yet, but there's
bodywork in its future) so I just removed what was
loose and had fallen down in the cracks.
