You guys did a great job! The car is at the body shop now and we're getting ready to address those quarters. I'll make sure to share some photos when it's done!

Even after I haven't been an industrial painter for more than 10 years, I still find well prepared steel beautiful. Man, there was nothing like sand blasting mill scale off and watching that profile shape up. I would often draw shapes and then blast em smooth. You know.... For science

SWEET. Just brought back a memory from late ‘60s. I was still riding bicycles. Me and a friend rode our bikes to a row of garages where his older brother had a garage and was working on a car. Chevy is all I remember at that age. Well when we got there he had the paint and primer totally off the body. I didn’t know any better. Two days later we rode our bikes back over to the garage. Horror. The body had rust ALL OVER THE BODY. I can only imagine what he had to do next because we never went back to check. Ahh the good ol days. Thank You 🙏

I had a 67 cougar when I was a kid. Had the 289ci engine. I got 2 speeding tickets and sold it! Loved the old headlights with vacuum powered covers!

Impressed that you guys installed the stay braces across the door openings to prevent the body distorting 👍🏻👍🏻

Great job restoring these timeless, priceless classics.

Thank you ! Watching these videos is so cathartic for me. For me, it doesn’t really matter the make of vehicle ( even though I’m a Ford guy) that is going into the tank, it just the process of “before an after” that does it for me. Great video, keep up the good work !

Wow, you ain't joking, that chassis/unified body is really solidly clean, well done.

Absolutely great job, guys. Finally this Cougar will be in better condition than in 1969.

I had a '69 Torino dipped. It was such a time saver in the end that it probably saved 4x over the cost of the dip in my labor alone.

Fantastic condition, one of the best american 60.s/70's cars I've seen dipped by you! Love the Acid-Cam as well!

I don't know why I find your videos so relaxing I'm really enjoying watching keep up the awesome work

This was excellent, amazing how it came out, I've seen blasting but I've never seen start to finish chemical stripping. Great stuff.

Awsome shots of the dipping process, especially under the dip which I never seen. 👍 great job.

Wow!... You are Not Kidding. She's in Great Shape for that many years/miles etc

Your videos are awesome! You should do some follow up videos with the owners when the car is done, we would love to see those

It's great there's services like this around. I wonder what it costs.

Good grief I can't believe that is in that kind of shape!! Someone has got themselves a super nice build there! Great job on the dip and cleanup as well. I enjoyed the video. 👍👍

Ah, how I wanted a 69 Cougar!! Glad to see a restoration in progress.

Thank You for making this video! That was super cool to watch! I've never seen that done before and the 69 cougar was my very first car! That's amazing the process in doing that! Thank You!

That's an amazing body shell from what I can see good luck with the build

Nice camera work coming from the tank,well done.

I'm surprised this isn't done more often. It's such a great idea. Nothing protects like this process. I'd love to see them galvanize it afterwards.

Can't stop watching your videos. Great job! Nice transformation of a pice of mess. ❤️

Dangle dipping a '69 cougar? Bold.

I had one of those, sold it a few years ago. It had zero rust and I loved it. You can see the car in my video. Wish I still had her, she turned heads everywhere❤

One of the most satisfying videos I have ever watched!

Ouuuuuuuuu weeeeeee, that baby looks super clean and ready to build.

Incredible job Lieutenant Dangle.

I enjoy seeing all the different colours it was

I had a 69 cougar , blue and white ..my favorite car.. My hubby bought me a 68 cougar and i made him get rid of it ,not my 69 cougar.. That one you all dipped had alot of layers of pant on it.. Thank for sharing..🥰

I was expecting holes, really solid car!!!

The only way but I can just imagine the years I would have to work to get it done. Great day to you 6.

That's how you begin a frame up restore the right way.

I really enjoyed watching this

This is so awesome I'm glad I found your channel thanks 👍

Wonderful job

Must be nice to get to start the work with a nice clean fully stripped car.Major labor savings for the restorer

Great idea!! Great job guys 💪👍👍👍

Absolutely pristine 👍

That car was definitely needing that bath. It now will have a fresh new start at life again.

The vin tag came out mint. She is clean.

This is so satisfying to watch

If not for all the cancer fumes this seems like a very enjoyable and gratifying job.

finally someones restoring a cat one of my favorite cars I'm sure it s gonna be great getting a complete restoration !

Love watching you guys great job

That is in great shape for a convertible

That's beautiful man

A flawless job

Great work

That's crazy clean 😲

Nicely done, it's the only real way to do it right.

I WATCHED YALL DIP THE 70 CHEVELLE😭 MY HUSBAND PASSED AND I STILL HAVE HIS. IT MADE ME CRY. LIKE A BITTERSWEET CRY. HE WOULD SOOO BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT YOUR DOING. HE JUST NEVER GOT TO RESTORE IT.😭. GREAT JOB. WHERE ARE YA LL LOCATED?

It looks great after all that old paint and things are removed

Excellent, congratulations!

What do you do inside the seat risers? It’s a cavity, usually rusts out from the inside. It is cool that it looks like a bright yellow car. Same with the cowl vent area , how would you coat it after its stripped?

That was awesome.

Invest in a spreader bar for attaching ropes to the cars, super clean job

Nice work guys amazing 👏 👍

Great job. And I have never seen a more obvious shot of the whole shock tower situation that makes running the big blocks in these cars such a challenge. Headers and plugs would be a struggle. Cheers 🍺

Here in the rust belt we dream of cars in this condition

I thought about doing this with my classic British roadster, but I'm pretty sure nothing would come out of the dip tank.

Is it correct soda blasting body shells is the usual method now as not all the acid can be removed with dipping?

I used to have two caustic soda tanks, where I drip & stripped doors, I used to spray them down with a pressure washer, like you're doing, what chemical are you using in your tank?

how far ahead you are, I wish we had this technology in Greece too

Amazing

That’s awesome

This video checked soooo many boxes!

What happens with all the sludge from the tanks? What chemical do u first use? What chemical is used for rust? How do u expose of it?

This is the correct dangle

Where does all this drain to?

How do you clean up the dirty water from all the chemicals and lead from the paint after you are done with the car? Where does the water go?

Hello! What kind of acid do you use after alkali treatment?

It was made in the era I was born and I worked on those in the beginning of my career and I miss the 60/70/& early 80's cars. Life was good and better than today Didn't take a 25 hour ticket to put a motor in something like a Toyota Sequoia or something like 6 Today cars and trucks are just too over engineered for working on them like before. Glad I am getting closer to retirement. LOL

Is it dipped it something to keep it from getting a surface rust on removal? I think it would be nice once the welding is done to dip in something that would coat all the inside channels. You could finnish bump and fill on the exterior panels then.

Awesome!

What’s the ball park price range on getting something like this done?

Did you make after that zinc cover to preserve that beauty?

Nice and shiny

Boy I'd love to see a whole submarine done that way.

I work on Ford Model A's. Would the chemicals eat away the wood sub structure found in these cars?

Is there somewhere we can watch the restoration of these cars?

Mercury Cougar.... Always the red-headed step child to the Ford Mustang.

Those are really nice cars and there's not many of them I'd like to see it done also

Nice!

What I can never understand is, surely when you strip all the paint off it will start rusting inside the cavities especially inside those A post's .

Idk why but this looks like a fun job😅

So ball park how much would a job like cost and do y'all also dip ot back into just plain eater ot something to netruallize what ever chemicals y'all are using? Great outcome on that car though. I'm debating on getting a 48 fleetmaster to restore that is completely solid.

soon as the pressure washer hits; "oh god that's satisfying"

I think that turbo nozzle is doing 90% of the work

Are these primed immediately after or do they go thru another process

Amazing...

How much does it cost to have a car dipped like that?

I have 2 door 1963 Cadillac convertible. It’s been in the garage for 20 years. How much does it cost to do a strip down on a vehicle and chemically clean? With the body and frame?

Работники мойки не несут ответственности за повреждения лакокрасочного покрытия 🤣

How could a person get started in doing that kind of work and where would you get the chemicals for doing that or even the tanks .. where would y'all be located at

Wish my cousin had this set up when I was young on school holidays but no, bucket of water and wet/ dry sand paper

What's acids are being used here 🤔

How often does the acid get changed as I'd imagine after it's burnt off paint once or twice It ain't as good as it ment to be

Strangely satisfying
