yeah this isnt a good idea. they will now be long term corrosion between overlapping panels that will end up destroying this bus. and the pressure washing job to remove the chemical, is peak hack job. you are far better off sandblasting or hydroblasting.

This was a ton of fun to watch. I have a good friend who is the original owner of a 1971 Bus - no kidding - that has everything from its original paint and nearly flawless headliner to a body that doesn’t need dipping. It was a “barn find” in that she had not driven it since 1999 and was in her horse barn all those years when I saw it and offered to renovate it. Can’t be many originals out there like hers.

@thardyryll 10 ай бұрын

@@kdkn50 That bus is amazing. My friend is a widow in her 80s and still owns the bus. One major reason for its lack of rust is a lifetime spent in the Pacific Northwest, where rusty vehicles (at least those away from the coast) are almost unheard of. That, and the fact that the bus spent nearly 30 years inside a dry barn. It has the usual rust damage at the rear quarters where the battery was -- and was moved to -- but that's about it. I tuned it, cleaned out the mouse nests, put fresh fuel and a battery in it, and the old gal started right up.

dont get it acid dipped. it will look great at first, then it will rust out between the seams. you wont even know till it blows through the paint. and this guy, just pressure washing the fluid off, instead of even dipping it in a neutralizing tank (which still doesnt work btw), is a total clown. get it hydroblasted instead. its so much better for the vehicle.

in the late 2000's a friend bought a 69 bus, put in a porsche motor in the back (sideways), it was fully kitted out in the colors of his clothing brand in extreme high quality, the back sould be converted in a big bed/sofa for multiple people, or a U shaped seating area, with electrically retractible TV screen and Playstation 2. We were on a roadtrip to go wakeboarding in Croatia when the engine (this was the 2nd one, the first one was from a jaguar, but the van would flip with it in testing) caught on fire. We had it towed back to our home country (friend had a bit of spare change...). We were then, only hours after the engine died, picked up by a friend from Croatia in a big blue Durex branded wan full of.. well, Durex products; he left work in Zagreb to drive for almost 2h to pick us up and drive us to our destination. A girl that was traveling with us profusely thanked him on the way to our destination. Good times.
