Carb cleaner takes it off, so does wire wheel. I have been using both.

Yes! Do it!! Or buy my Z and throw your motor in it
Wirewheel on a drill was the best. Did a lot with a scrapper too, helps when it was really cold as it turns to goo when its warm. The rear I actually did dry ice with but unless its next door its a pain to go get.

Not too much progress, been in an out of town with work. Alittle more sound deadening material left and want to get it prep for paint maybe, thinking about white. Have a good place down the street that will do it for cheap.
saw this over the weekend, have more pictures, if I get a chance I will put them up

Here is how I filled the dip in the floor.

Not bad power for a higher mileage stock Z for the most part and look like a very fun project 
I am in the process of a build as well on one of my personal cars for a weekend warrior that will do some open track days as well as a local Time Attack series. Car is going on a diet and getting all the proper suspension upgrades as well.
A good way I have found for removing sound deadening that I have used on about 5 cars now is the Dry Ice method. Get a brick of Dry ice and brake it up into pieces and spread them out over the piece of sound deadening you are working on. Let them sit for about 5-10 min then remove the pieces and smack it with a hammer The piece should ether crack or come loose after a few tries and it comes off clean with no goo (Usually). I have had great success with this method and had very little left to clean up with a wire wheel in the end 
Have fun and I'll watch this build as it progresses.
Thanks,
Dallin
