Chemical dipping a 1966 Pontiac GTO

Today I’m taking you through the process of stripping this 1966 Pontiac GTO down to bare metal prior to its restoration!
I am using a proprietary 3 step process
Step 1 paint removal in an alkaline bath.
Step 2 rust removal in an acid bath.
Step 3 applying a water based rust inhibitor.
After every acid dip the car is neutralized in our alkaline to stop from flash rusting.

I know paint stripping and rust removal is your thing, but it would be nice to see a follow-up on a few of the more interesting cars further down their restoration process.

I have had numerous bodies and parts chemically stripped using this process. I highly recommend it BUT you must have the body/ parts e coated after the dipping process. As mentioned in previous posts the areas that are not readily accessible by the normal spray primer process have to be protected from future corrosion. The e coat treatment gets into all the areas that spray primer cannot. Do it right or don’t do it at all!

Dipping a body and sheet metal is worth every penny it cost to dip . A buddy had his 59 El Camino dipped and wow it was in such great shape . When we picked up the El Camino there was a 55 Baby Bird that looked awesome to us , but the owner thought it was a piece of junk just because of a couple of pin hole rust spots . Interesting thing about the Baby Birds , the front sheet metal is brazed onto the body when they were manufactured as we saw on the body . Awesome video .

I love watching your videos. I'm not sure where you are from but I'm in Pittsburgh, PA and I've never seen cars dipped and cleaned without much rust. None of my 1960's cars would have come out of the dip. I think all that would have survived most of my cars would be the roof,A pillar and B pillars

If the owner is going for a stock rebuild, the factory markings were visible on the firewall after the first dip. You might let the owner know so they can replicate them.

You have a very satisfying job. How many cars can you do at once? Do you have multiple tanks going? What is an average cost to do this process, i know it can vary from good to worse.Do you add a chemical in the final spray to prevent rusting? So many questions but honestly fascinated by the process.

@RS-rn4ox 11 ай бұрын

Its an interesting processes and chemical stripping is a good way to get to the bottom of things quickly. My question is how do you access the parts of the body that aren't exposed? Wont this cause flash rusting and further rusting to the areas of the body that are difficult to reach?

One of the other channels I watch is a British high end custom shop called Retropower. When doing a strip they stopped using acid dip because the service they were using were not either willing or able to fully clean the voids of acid. They now blast instead. An interesting channel btw, they’re just finishing off a custom built Land Cruiser, a Camaro, a Mustang, a lancia Stratos kit car(!), some custom Escorts, a jag and others.
