I suspect that foam in the c-pillar of the Fasty (is in a Square or Notch, too) is polyurethane foam. I have not confirmed this, but is looks and feels like polyurethane foam and when HVWs magazine did an article on hot-dipping a Fastback body to remove the paint the foam was just beginning to dissolve a little, but still came out in chunks. Polyurethane foams are very chemically resistant, unfortunately for us. If it is polyurethane foam, about the only way to get it out is with a pair of needle nose pliers and LOTS of patience. I have not done this with my Fasty yet. You might try putting a small piece in a jar with some solvent and see what happens. If it dissolves readily you could potentially dissolve it out. I can see where your rotisserie will be real handy for this. You could also burn it out, but I would NOT recommend this.......lots of nasty fumes and you don't know how hot the metal around it will get and what it will do to the properties of the metal. Lots us all know what you find out. Later, John Jaranson '71 FI Auto Fasty (Jane) http://hometown.aol.com/jaransonT3 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pitch in!
