Getting Rid of Smell

I have '65 that sat outside for over 10yrs. Infested w/ rats, rat
****, papers. . .
MAN does it reek. I've got all the inside gutted, put baking soda on
the floor for a few days to absorb the smell, let it air out but it
still is really awful.
Any suggestions on getting the smell out?
Thanks.

There was that mythbusters episode... but I think the smell won.

One way I know. Put a big fan in one window and push a lot of air through
it. In time it will go away. Did you clean everything you could?

If you plan on restoring it, take it to get media blasted..

the smell is coming from oils left behind. Get in there with some cleaner,
or media blast the inside

Go to a carpet cleaner and get some of the product they use for
ridding carpets of pet odors... it's an enzime solution which
essentially eats the stuff up.

You say you stripped the interior. Does that include the heater and
vents/vent hoses? Quite often that is where the buggers build their
nests.

Thanks. I am stripping it. So far all the carpet/flooring/seats/
trunk/glove box.
I had not made it yet to to heater/hoses or AC bolt on yet. It is in
the plan but I'm just starting out and figured I look for answers.
I'll do that and probably all the other things posted.

That is in the plan...down the road.
