DIY/BBQ Meet X2_2009

Heat gun!!!!!!

I still want to do my 12" box. I'm set on using dry ice to break the trunk tar.
I have so much other stuff to do, but will probably hold off.

I think brody can enlighten you on that aspect. I'll let him chime in, since he worked his ass off removing his trunk tar, until he found out how to do it right... with....

Haha! I spent 3 hours trying to remove the tar on a normal day (about 80 degrees) with two hammers (one to hit, one to use as a "chisel"). Later in the day I discovered YUN's HEAT GUN was the greatest thing on earth for the tar, it literally peeled away with little effort on my part. Far better than trying to freeze it with Dry Ice.

I then used a spray bottle of Goof-off (not goo-gone) to easily wipe aay the mess left behind.

im meeting up with a couple people here in va, probably just north of fairfax (tysons/falls church). thats because its a 1+ hour drive.

[EightiesBaby]

I'll be up, but later in the day. I'm going golfing with some of my MINI friends up in Friendship, so I'll be by after. I'm also not sure if I'll be in the MINI or the bmw, depends on if I get the swap done or not.

if we can get a hold of that fender roller somebody mentioned earlier, id like to do that. other than that, not much the car needs. i can bring tools too (i always have a tool box in the trunk)

[EtaSport]

commend you on the winter removal. Mine had been sitting outside in the sun for several hours on a 90 degree day. I was expecting the worst with mine, its seems its the only thing that wanted to come out easily.

[thereisnoyun]

I cant believe the differences in difficulty people have experienced with trunk tar, mine scraped right out, zero effort.

did mine over the winter took no more than 5 hammer blows and everything jsut came out. Some are easy some are really stuck in tehre.

[EtaSport]

I might try to go, I'll be at states solo competition in harrisburg on that saturday so its a little more running around but if Im around I'm bringing the s50 powered car. I used to live out that way.
