Chemical dipping a Rare 1978 Porsche 930 / 911 Turbo #11 off the assembly line!

I had the pleasure of getting this 1978 Porsche 930/911 turbo down to bare metal prior to this high end restoration. This car was number 11 off the assembly line and the first ten were crash test cars. That means this was the first one available to the public for purchase.

The rear quarters were added from factory on early 930

[@drubradley8821]

In the years of full ground up restorations I have done, the first 5 or 6 units were media blasted, which is fine to do, but, until you experience the chemical strip system, you'll never go back to blasting processes, even with CO2/ice, the chemical stripping process really allows allot of the unknown pains to be seen clearly.. I may sound a bit mental on my next statement, but, starting out on a chemical stripped unit, even if there is 300 hours of sheet metal fabrication that needs done, from either collision damage or mother Earth trying to reclaim the atoms, chemical stripped units, always feels like you are working with brand new parts, even if there is damage on the unit. It is clean, you can see the nature of the sheet metal and what has been touched after the manufacturing process and how well it was done or not done. So worth it. The price if it is your first time can be a shock to the budget, but once you have it back at your shop and getting a game plan together, it is like opening up a brand new box of LEGO's as compared to the other 300 LEGO sets you already have, the new one just brings good energy and initiative to get started fresh out of the gate. So worth it!

That’s awesome to hear! I really enjoyed reading your comment.

[@outofcomms]

I am a commercial media blaster and 90% of the articles I blast are vehicles . I believe I do a pretty good job and give my customers there moneys worth, but dipping though complicated is on another level, well done!

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thanks buddy! I appreciate that

[@thefreedomguyuk]

Trouble about blasting classic vehicles is the collaterals. There's too much good sheet metal being blasted away. Having said that, I've not got anything as rare as this Slant nose, so I'd happily send my cars to you 👍

[@Fredmullegun]

@@thefreedomguyuk acid removes metal. baking soda not really

[@MadSceintist]

@@Fredmullegun it doesn't remove metal, it removes oxidized carbon (rust and corrosion), depending on the metal, if left far too long and not neutralized it'll begin to etch good metal. Soda blasting is easiest of the blasting methods on all metals but left untreated will also destroy the materials

[@Fredmullegun]

@@MadSceintist Acid definitely removes metal, you just sort of said that. "If left far too long" It's going to thin all the panels and remove all the oxidation. I guess my only issue is panels that have suffered rust damage but are still solid might thin out enough to get pinholes then what do you do? It seems to add complications that could be avoided. Seem filler, undercoat, etc is all just gone. To what end?

[@gregorylyon1004]

This is a real car. A car worth saving

[@tonybino01]

Porsche's 911 car body design is so iconic. It's so fun when you get to watch it peeled to bare metal. It's like a brand new canvas and anything is possible. I love your videos because it's so exciting when you pull them up from the dip. It's like the cars are getting reborn. Spraying off the layers feels refreshing. I will not know what I'd do if it's my car being dipped. LoL

[@tinman7551]

I can’t say that I’m enjoying the head mounted GoPro. The footage is quite jerky and I’ve not seen that type of thing before in your wonderful videos. My 💲.01 also what a beautiful Porsche. ❤😊

[@minute_of_dangle]

I personally don’t like it either. I’m going to try and figure out a better mounting solution and incorporate both so I can pick and choose

[@race-partners]

Porsche has always had great corrosion protection and it really shows here. Those wide fenders were factory additions for the wider 930. It's cool to see that these were imperfect, as you said. So much was done by hand. Nice job Trevor

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thanks buddy!

[@ostrich67]

Not always. They were rust buckets until the late 1970s when Porsche finally addressed the problem with galvanized steel and better coatings.

[@johnleinen7167]

Porsche hot dipped these cars in zinc before paint process and gave them a 10 year rust warranty , hopefully the acid won't ruin the metal! Really no need to dip these just vapor blast.Yes the rear flares were hand welded on .

[@v00989]

That's interesting, I noticed what looked like galvanizing when the car was being washed. I wondered how the galvanizing holds up to the chemicals.

[@jc87930]

I didn't want to be the downer but yes 911s were galvanized 76 on and you should never dip then in acid it removes the protection...

Hot dipped or electroplated?

[@danieljessop7140]

Are these re dipped in some sort of primer after being cleaned up? This isn't done in NZ due to not being able to reprime all the internal chassis rails etc. They start to rust immediately and within a short time the car has rotted from the inside out making any restoration useless.

[@mitreswell]

Completely agree with you. I was visiting Hopper Racing Developments at Whenuapai, who restore cars, and asked if they acid dipped the bodies. I was really surprised when they told me they didn't, for the obvious reasons that you have stated. It makes a lot of sense to just stick with media blasting. Maybe they could drill holes in the box section places on this Porsche and get the whole thing galvanized?

[@Dixler683]

Daniel Jessop….I have had my cars dipped since the 1980’s. You have 2 choices. Spray epoxy sealer in and out OR the bodies are dipped into a tank of “E” coat at the same facility. The black finish is exactly the same as replacement factory panels.

[@Ada..D]

Your absolutely correct. Caustic can also sit between spot welded seems forever, having dissolved some of the original factory seam sealer. Having said that, if the bare body is to go though a proper E coat process after, the caustic stage is not so much of an issue because the first stages of pre-treatment for E coating includes dipping in mild caustics and phosphates together with demineralised rinses and demin water bath stages before E'coat is applied. ecoat = electrophoretic Paint Think I'd probably take the long route. Media blasting and maybe some ice blasting where possible and lots of elbow grease. 👍

[@Cartiluvsyoutube]

Thank you all, I have been curious about how these get protected post dip

[@tompetrushka1627]

Landscape format with a tripod would allow you to use both hands. Turbos had the rear flares welded on by the factory. Later, as they were imported to the US again in 1986 the rear 1/4 panels were one piece. That left side has been spliced to repair it, vertical seem is a repair. Right side is correct. Corrosion directly above the jack point is common as it is a dirt trap that hold moisture. This works it's way through to the rear door jamb area you noted. Messy job, but you got it looking nice. I'm curious as to how well you get it neutralized inside all the pockets, the tunnel, inside the rockers? Have you ever put a tub or chassis through upside down? Note how the factory rolls the new chassis through a primer in an end over end manner to get every surface wetted. Keep up the videos, great job.

[@minute_of_dangle]

I appreciate all that info! You know your stuff. We used to have a cage that we would rotate the cars. It soaked up a lot of time. Circulation of the chemical with pumps and air siphoning fixtures saves a little more time and does a good job. When neutralizing it’s completely submerged the same way as in the acid so it gets everywhere that the acid gets. I’m glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you!

Subscribed! Great work and what a cool car. Acid dipping is almost as satisfying and dry ice detailing.

[@chamberizer]

I had a Motorcycle Frame chemical dipped in 1985 to remove the paint. I had the two swingarm bushings replaced, the old bushings had been left in when dipped & thus were hard to remove. Also, the person that painted the frame said it is better to sand blast. Sand blasting gives a better surface for the paint to grip/adhere too. I guess if the sheet metal is thin dipping is the way to go?

[@Jlb-fz7nl]

Thank you for sharing the videos

[@geneva760]

Early 930 1/4 panels had welded on flares, later 930 1/4 panels were a single piece pressing. It seems strange that the torsion bar plates are still bolted on, hence I assume that the torsion bars are still inside the torsion bar tube, and one of the front bumper deformation tubes is also left bolted on. Always better to unbolt everything. I also assume that the acid dip removes all of the factory galvanizing? There is a heater tube that runs from the engine bay to the front on both sides of a 911/930 and runs through the inside of each sill cavity and where there is a fabric (I cannot recall the exact material) flexible heater pipe, all of these areas need 'special' attention and treatment on any 911/930 that is dipped. It would be interesting to see more of the rinsing process for the cavities and also the thought processes used to treat these after they have all been chemically strippped. I have had many cars dipped over the years, and it is a BIG task to properly treat the shell after dipping (I once paid the price for not doing so with a 911 bonnet). But I also believe that a quality dipping is MUCH better than some of the 'cringe worthy' stuff I see people doing with sand. RINSE - RINSE - RINSE and RINSE again - then dry and treat ALL those internal areas with epoxy and cavity wax is a good suggestion. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
