We have another mustang in the shop, but this time it’s a 1967 Fastback. I’m going to show you how we remove all of the paint and rust to get this classic down to bare metal prior to its restoration. This greatly Helps extend the life of these awesome classics.

Those brass welded spots are factory and were done by Ford to hold the panels in place when the car was being built in 1967. Those quarter panels on that car were never replaced and every vintage Mustang has a little brazing like that especially around the tail light panel area.

In my opinion this is the only way to begin a serious restoration. The result is a piece that is rust free and all its sins and faults are exposed so they can be addressed correctly.

This is a silly question but after the acid bath and alkaline dip, when you wash the bare metal with water, does that exposure to the water put it at potential risk for rust again, or the exposure is so short its negligible? (Sorry I'm just paranoid about rust)

Thanks for sharing and being a good host. It seems a distant time ago I had heard of using this process of restoration as a recourse for certain situations. But as I had understood that information, it was not done every time but in certain circumstances. I have never seen anyone do this course of treatment before. I find it fascinating. How long have you been doing this.Someone earlier in the comments said every restoration should begin like this. Is that true? FYI I have never and will never restore anything in life but in the workshop of my mind. Any info would be appreciated. Once again thank you.

We dip it in a rust inhibitor then 75% of our customers have the whole body primer dipped or Ecoated after the process. Graber enterprises in elkhart Indiana has Ecoated some cars after we dipped them. They said our cars are the cleanest he’s ever seen.

The brazing on your car was probably done at Ford as this was how they did it in the day. The best way you can tell if a panel has been replaced is if the factory spot welds are still intact. Most shops do not have the ability to do this.

I haven't heard of dipping cars for a long time up in Canada because the process was basically dumped due to environmentalists (as usual), lack of volume and cost. I can remember there were very few shops back in the day locally, and guys used US operators. My question would be, have they solved the issues we had in the past regarding acid remaining in the pinch welds because the neutralizing process wasn't good enough to penetrate and do its' job back then? We had a lot of problems with acid trapped in the seams that would bleed out during and after the restoration and cause all kinds of headaches.

@@ricoludovici2825 This era Mustang, like the Falcons they were based on, were not dipped in primer. The cowl metal was galvanized and then welded together. There was no way for the painters to reach into the cowl so the inside of the cowl had just the galvanizing to protect the metal. Eventually dirt, leaves, road salt got into the cowl, the galvanizing would be depleted, and the tin worm would take over. Keep in mind these cars were built to sell cheap. The designers and engineers assumed most cars would be junked from 5-10 years they hit the road. I'm sure the people who designed and built these cars would have said you were crazy if you told them people would still be fascinated with them 60 years after they first went on sale.
