Dwight:

As I understand it, you want to remove the undercoat from under the floors, is that correct? If that is the case, over the last 30 years or so, I had the occasion to remove undercoating many times. The method I used was to heat the undercoating with a heat gun and use a scraper/Putty knife etc. It is a slow process, but it always works. If you are ever have the chance to see my car, I invite you to inspect the underside of my car. All you will see is a clean underside and a lot of red paint. If your car is completely apart, turn the body on the side. I rolled my car over and rested the roof line gutter on an old tire for support. This did not harm any part of the car and it makes it alot easier to do the job. I was too cheap to buy a rotessery. Good luck on your project. Remember, no one plans to fail, they just fail to plan! A little planning goes a long way!
