Chemical dipping a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback!

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.

[@gordonhancock6030]

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.

[@minute_of_dangle]

I agree! Most of our customers get their cars Ecoated after this and that just ensures they last forever

[@sea_turtle_adventures]

@@minute_of_dangle So, I was wondering what your customer do to prevent oxidation immediately after this process? Not familiar with ECoating.... But, seems you would not have a lot of time to protect it. Thanks in advance for your response.

[@minute_of_dangle]

@@sea_turtle_adventures the last dip Inhibits rust even after the rinse. It takes days for it to flash up. But we dip the car in a rust inhibitor after everything’s said and done. It lasts up to 30 days

[@sea_turtle_adventures]

@@minute_of_dangle Thank you! Much appreciated. Fascinating to watch the process.

[@11THEFEZMAN11]

Having done restoration work for decades, there’s one constant, lots of sins

[@The78vikings]

Great to see some underside shots of the chassis. Keep 'em coming, these are more fun than you can imagine!!! Sub from Michigan where we KNOW rust!!

[@chrismcgowan3520]

I've been considering different options on my 1929 model A tudor and started to watch your videos to learn, needless to say I'm definitely going this route, yes it's more expensive initially but in the long run I'm sure I will make that back in savings on time and going over hidden repairs, now just to find someone in South Australia lol

[@raven4k998]

shame ford does not do this method for rust proofing their vehicles would make them much more robust

[@richardjimenez7394]

I like the work you been doing so far . Thank you for sharing your experience and work on projects and paint stripping projects. :)😊

[@TheJoefussGarage]

That was so cool !!! Thanks for sharing these videos. Loved the walk around to see the customer has to work with afterwards. 😉

[@inspectadrift8478]

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.

[@mayhemsmaster5050]

No worries, dont worry about us... the faithful will be here. Shes got a lot that needs to be fixed, but there is LOTS of potential. Thank you for another awesome video, keep up the amazing work.🙏💜

[@minute_of_dangle]

❤❤❤ thank you that means a lot

[@bruceyoung1343]

The acid bath means business. What % is the acid bath? Don’t feel like you have to apologize for not getting vids out. Life happens. Really enjoy

[@michaelbruns473]

The brazing on the panel joints is original. Cheap repairs were done 30+ years ago, when these cars where nothing else than cheap beaters. The crazy price increases that warrant extensive & expensive repairs is a relatively recent phenomenon.

[@stevepellew8021]

Great job guys, it better to start from scratch 👏, I like perfection 😊 it's gotta look better than manufactured. It's an investment to someone or it been in the family from first purchased, I love the older cars 🚗. 50,s 60,s and 70,s models from performance to the 2 tone family car has something good to talk about. My neighbors 1977 Leyland mini clubman is just on the verge of completion 🎉 and it looks eye popping.😮. ❤from New Zealand supporters.

[@theloudamerican2193]

I don’t imagine this process is cheap, but the results are worth every cent IM CERTAIN!!!

[@michaelvarble4392]

Great way to start a full restoration with a clean pallette. I worked in local full service shop and I ran the radiator shop when I was there along with regular repair work. We had a hot tank where I soaked the radiator for an hour or so it removed all the paint and all of the corrosion the solder work was much easier this way. Dirty work but satisfying

[@edwinheredia4305]

Very beautiful work you did on this mustang you cleaned it very professional

How do you keep it from flash rusting after?

[@boblalonde5164]

I liked when you showed the underside of the car being cleaned off, I believe it's a first time 👍.

[@minute_of_dangle]

Glad you liked it! I’ll keep doing it if that’s what people like to see!

[@TheRZBM]

How do you dry out all the enclosed cavities? I know it is dipped in rust inhibitor but I am guessing that can't protect forever against trapped or pooled water in cavities? Or does the coating it gets later on displace any trapped water?

[@fwhd1966]

Great job. If it is possible, I would like you to show the state after the restoration of the base treatment here.

[@ladeseddy5994]

All of the dipping and chemistry makes sence and produces an excellent outcome. My question is how do you prevent any flash rusting from your shop to the owner?

[@Parkhill57]

spray it with PAM

[@davidbarnsley8486]

[@michaelvarble4392]

Thank you for the videos it's fun to watch

[@TheRandallraplee]

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.

[@glennk1931]

Very nice video. Very informative. Appreciate your time doing these.

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thank you! That really means a lot. I appreciate you watching

[@IntegraDIY]

Weird how you always mistakenly miss the second alkaline dip, every single time.. and seeing the second alkaline dip pressure washed is the MOST satisfying to watch.. because we get to see the remaining stuck bits, get blasted off. That sucks 😢😢

[@philipejeuceoututkache]

Hi MoD. If I can give an advice on high pressure washer: avoid Karcher. there are now pure shiet, even on their professional "grey line" (I don't even talk about the plastic yellow crap you can find at homedepot etc etc). If you want something that last, I highly suggest Kränzle, another German brand, but being in a serious other level in terms of quality.

[@davestark2015]

A good Italian pump makes for a great unit

[@wyattwade7140]

How does the rust not come back through the finished paint on the seams.

[@randalltravis29]

I've been driving my 67 fb for 38 years daily. It doesn't matter, just fix it better and save it. Looks good.

[@searlearnold2867]

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.

[@warbirdwf]

Question- after the final acid bath and rinse off, how is the body treated to prevent rust where there is no access to spray primer on it? The factory dips the bodies in primer. What do folks do in this situation where they have the body dipped in acid? Enjoy your content!

[@minute_of_dangle]

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 owners names Doug and he told me to give his number out if anyone had any questions about ecoating after dipping. Give him a call [phone]

[@robharper2078]

Body's in fantastic shape for a car that old! Unicorn.

[@buckvarner3661]

I don’t know if you have time to read your comments but if so could you tell me approximately how much this cost? I know why the rot hole in the front right is there because that’s just below where the battery goes. This car is 98% better than most when you get a 60’s car down to bare metal. If you happen to know if anyone does this process in the Carolina’s I would appreciate it. I live in Charleston, South Carolina

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thanks for the information. I don’t know of anyone who does this around there I’m sorry. It’s a flat rate of 3100

[@rlewis1946]

Amazing work, amazing results! New sub and eager to see more of your First Rate Work!! Take care, be safe. RL Buffalo, NY

[@joeroad6618]

Never seen a Mustang with floors before!

[@ricoludovici2825]

Or relatively intact cowl.

[@MrSloika]

@@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.

[@tehsimo]

The thought of dealing with huge tanks of acid etc sounds scary. But I cant argue with the results, looks great.

[@wayne9518]

It’s generally alkaline. Destroys paint, does eat at the metal like acid would.

[@inspectadrift8478]

​@@wayne9518the Alkaline just neutralizes the acid so it doesn't continue to eat away at the metal. The main strip is definitely achieved with a real acid bath.

[@electrolytics]

No that acid or alkaline is very weak solution. That's why the cars stay submerged for 2-3 days. Pepsi or some hand soaps are more acidic/alkaline than the solutions in that tank. It's not how strong, it's how long it stays in the tanks.

[@tehsimo]

@@electrolytics less than Pepsi? Really?

[@electrolytics]

@@tehsimo Yes...or around the same. That's why it takes 2-3 days per dip in the tanks. And it takes 2-3 dips plus vigorous power washing 2x. This content provider already said it was Food Grade chemicals in the tanks in another video's comment section.

[@DeanBenson-p5n]

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.

[@waylonrichter1253]

So, what would be the result if a person was in the car for two days during the alkaline dip? Asking for a friend

[@hanshoogendyk2203]

It's only in the ankaline dip for 5 to 10 mins

[@aj_art8058]

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)

[@derryjones1029]

Back to a clean blank canvas to wrk with brilliant way to do it

[@MrHiBeta]

I had a two-year old ‘67 Mustang in high school (yeh, I’m old), and the car had rust within a year. Florida car, not a northern car. Shiny paint and rust bubbles at all chrome attachment points.

[@BuzntFrog]

How do you keep the steel from flash rusting? Any time I've ever cleaned metal that bare it rusts within minutes of being cleaned up, especially if pressure washed clean.

[@hydroy1]

Question ? do you also have a tank for dipping it in some kind of anti rusting chemicals like Zink chromate or other rust proofing coatings. Better to do it now if possible.

[@michaelfoster1453]

This is what I'd like to have done with my 94 GT. it's been painted over the original color and has had body damaged repaired in the past by previous owners / sellers. It's always a question of when! lol!

[@michelmendoza1769]

Of all the American brands which do you find typically has more rust and rot?

[@jerryscray1789]

Wait a minute. 2 different cars? The cowl by the drivers door was rotten when you were blasting it. Then the last dip no rust what did i miss

[@rustyshackleford6092]

Are there ever concerns of trapped air not allowing the bath to contact all of the surfaces? Inside the car, roof top, for example. Or perhaps inside some of the frame? Just curious. This is a very cool process and one I hope to have done some day for my car. What a great starting point for a rebuild.

[@PinkPanther1402]

Maybe that’s why the car is put in in an angle

[@rustyshackleford6092]

@@PinkPanther1402 Good point. I'd imagine most of the air could escape in that way.

[@worrier]

I think I remember hearing a small hole is drilled in the roof before dipping I don't know if that has to do with anything you're talking about. But maybe my infos bad

[@oldrustycars]

So the quarter panels were replaced, and then those rusted through and were patched?
