Hey guys, i've got to tell you about today. First of all, I am 50 years old, been a homeowner for 23 years and have rebuilt/restored 5 vehicles. I've had plenty of dirty jobs, but today was the worst yet. Today's project: Removing the jute insulation that was under the headliner. That stuff is disgusting. I thought it would come down in large pieces---HA! Mine came down as dust. I scraped on that junk for 4 hours. Here I am sweaty, sticky, and stinky with 42 year old brown, smelly dust all over me. I had that stuff in my nose, in my ears, in my teeth, between my toes, everywhere. Goggles were all fogged up from sweating, outside of my mask turned brown--you get the picture. My advice to anyone currently restoring a vehicle: Take down the jute insulation BEFORE you prime and paint your car and plan on throwing away your clothes when done. New headliner is on it's way, and I wasn't about to install it over top of that old stuff. Got some Fat Mat to put up. I just wonder if upholstery shops take the time to remove the old insulation before putting on the new headliner. Oh well, think I'll go shower AGAIN. David
