Spray foam=bad!

Same quarters back to 54.

 

Chopped out!

 

lol ... oh yeah shes my daily driver

 

let me know if you are going to part it out. i have a '64 town wagon that could use a few things.

 

It is water proof....the material itself. But over time moisture gets trapped between the foam and metal and rust starts to form.

 

OK i saved it. Built some from scratch. Ray

 

Does anyone know what the burning foam fumes turn into, somehow I'm guessing it isn't good to breath.

 

I was going to fill a plastic garbage bag stuffed inside the 1930 Roadster doors with the stuff. Ford used rolled up newspaper like paper to stiffen the doors so I thought this stuff would be a good replacement. It might work if the inside were painted to protect the metal.

 

Wow, $50, nice deal! That spray foam is bad ****! When I got my early econoline, it had 4 square headlights in the front mounted with spray foam! Totally custom!

 

Thanks for the heads up, I was going to spray a step van-shaved ice rig (Daughter's) with that stuff! NO MORE!!

 

Foam holds moisture, In the 80s I fixed alot of 1st gen Camaro's because they put a foam strip between the quarter and inner fender well. They all rotted out there.

 

Hey, cut the old hippy a break, it gets cold when your tripping on acid at the greatful dead show. Did it come from Eugene?

 

Not so much as water getting in, it's the condensation that forms in between the panels. Same reason mufflers rust out REAL fast in colder enviornments.

 

I hate the stuff, eventually I will probably get the 28 chrysler from my dad, and he used foam in the areas behind the windows for insulation. It all has to come apart anyway to replace wood though, so I guess i'll have to s****e it one piece at a time.

 

I worked in a body shop in the mid '80s and the boss had a friend with a '58 Chevy Delray wagon, like a Normad without back windows. The car was pretty cool looking and he had a tri-carb set up on it. The rear quarters were starting to bubble with rust so the boss had me fix them. What a mess, the quarters were stuffed with this **** to deaden the sound. All the boss had me do is grind the rust, knock the holes in and fill with fibergl*** because they didn't want me to waste the time digging that **** out. It looked good when I was done but I doubt it lasted more than a winter or two. The guy used it as a daily driver all year round here in Wisconsin.

Also, a lot of cheap RVs were filled with it. Nothing like crawling under and around a five year old RV with musty, moist foam stuffed into every corner with every piece of metal, steel and aluminum, rotting out.

 

open cell foam will promote rust, the late model cars use closed cell foam which isn't as bad.

 

It NEVER gets cold when you're tripping on acid!

 

I was going to offer TWICE what you paid for it. Then I seen you cut a big hole in the side and removed the foam, no I no longer want it.

Nice buy!

 

yes burning spray expanding foam smoke is not healthy , a friend used to restore mustangs a 69 fast back came in from maine for new frame rails , a p / o sprayed the frame rails full of expanding foam needless to say it became a parts car and was stripped and s****ped , i like the old wagon nice job on the new quarters
