Chemical Dipping a 1972 Toyota Celica

Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this classic 1972 Toyota Celica prior to its complete restoration. I’m going to take you through the process we use to completely chemically strip cars down to bare metal. This is a more thorough alternative to sand/media blasting with no chances of metal warping on thin panels. This process shows you exactly what you are working with and gives you a blank canvis to work with!
It is a 3 step process
Step 1) alkaline degreaser and paint remover
Step 2) Food grade Rust removing acid
Step 3) Water based rust inhibitor
The total process takes around 6 weeks because we use environmentally safe chemicals.

Those were great cars. My brother raced them on ice back in the 80's. Very reliable but they rusted . He would buy them at 100 dollars a pop and delivered pizzas with them. He even made one into a convertible along with a matching back-end of another one into a trailer for trips. So fun. Now only memories remain.

I totally get this as a restoration subject. I’m not a Toyota fan per se, but seeing a pristine one would stop me in my tracks at a car show. I remember seeing them brand new when I was a kid.
