Then again not in any rush either. Can see where liquid nitrogen would also work. Really anything that makes the glue easier to chip...

Thanks Guys for the help!

The trouble is getting the glue off. Remember I am still in the trunk. Haven't even started on the interior. My 66 had a towing package with the extra wiring, fun to get around with a scraper. May have to get out the camera to snap some photos before removing wires. I didn't use dry ice or anything ...

Anyone have any suggestions on removing the gooey adhesive used to adhere the sound / heat deadening. Currently I am using a scraper. It is extremely slow going. Is there any kind of chemical to use? One that could be painted over. I am planning on painting the inside of the trunk with black encapsu...

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We popped the hood today. I am pretty darn excited about it to. We went in on the drivers of the hood side with a piece of flat galvanized steel. That was 2" X 18". The hood popped up a couple inches, just enough to see the latch. Then pushed the latch...

The car is in very good shape. I will be restoring this car. So no the paint is not good. However the owner needs to get the hood open to get the serial number. He can't locate the title. I am heading out there this week to attempt to open the hood. I will let you all know what happens.

I am really excited to get the deal done. Next step is to find a towing company that has a flatbed to tow it to my place. Tha...

Bill, Thanks...I guess I should look around for some photo's of the engine compartment on a 1966. BTW your idea here looks like a winner. Also thanks for being thoughtful enough to tell me the latch was by the windshield. I actually didn't know that until I looked at the car. Does the trunk also ope...

Dan did you find someone to help you on this?

I am looking at purchasing a 1966 Lincoln Continental 4 door hardtop. The car has been sitting in a field since 1993. The gentleman who owns the car was telling me he thought the hood was frozen. However the inside latch was just hanging. After reading this forum. It appears the cable is broken. It ...
