48 merc with rhino liner
 

I am looking at a 48 Mercury coupe. The owner bought this survivor about 20 years ago. He then put a so so paint job on it. He sprayed the interior with Rhino Liner to deaden the sound and then reupholstered it with ok stuff.

This is a Nor Cal car

How hard is it to get rid of the Rhino Liner?

I would ask the folks who apply it on a daily basis.

I hate when somebody damages a perfectly good car.

This may require explosives...
Also, the stuff might have been used as a quick and dirty coverup and stiffener for rust holed floor. Difficult repairs concealed by very difficult layer of whatever it is...

Why do you want to get rid of the rhino liner?

I'll guess cuz roofing tar is more period correct. Did I guess right? 8^) Jack E/NJ

Anytime you find a funny coating in an old car you have to worry about the steel it covers...
perhaps you can tell if floor is sound from underneath. If not...could be someone's quick and dirty coverup of a floor that is about to disintegrate.

Explosives? Yes, and very powerful ones at that.

Talk to anyone in the automotive body repair profession...

I too would not want that stuff on the inside of my car. I might try heat to remove it. With that said I have put sound deadening material in my car on the interior everywhere. If someone else where to purchase my car I think they might think the same as you are. What's under this stuff.

I will pass on it.

Rhino Liner or Lizard Skin? The latter is a sound deadening material, that also blocks
heat transfer. Goes on the same as RL. Much easier to remove.
