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.

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.

[@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.

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!!

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

[@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

[@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.

[@yusifmeherremov9626]

Beautiful car😍😍😍

[@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

Hahahah from afar it does look amazing.

[@siliconvalleyengineer5875]

you did a fine job on that mustang getting all that old layers of body work off. It looked to me to have been early 1980's spot welding/tig/mig work.

[@fwhd1966]

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

[@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.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Good work ❤looking forward to more video

[@minute_of_dangle]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@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?

[@Samsgarden]

It's in great shape

[@whosaidthat5236]

Lol that roger rabbit figurine had me laughing.😂

[@gdfggggg]

Good work 👏🏻

[@spatulaman2753]

Is there a certain “work time” you have after it comes out of the bath to pressure wash all of the paint off? For example, if you don’t get the paint off within 2 hrs it has to go back in the bath?

[@MainlakeFishguides]

Pretty cool!

[@mitch3384]

It just doesn't feel right without a hand giving the thumbs up.

[@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.

[@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)

[@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

[@Imnotyourdoormat]

That had to have been another DuPont IMRON POLYURETHANE ENAMEL paint job on that thing...

[@user-zx4hv6ip8e]

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.

[@atm1513]

What keeps it from flash rusting after you rinse?

[@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

[@sipzter]

Great and informative video. In general can you give us an aproximate cost for a car like this? Thank you!!

[@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.

Отличная работа, Вы большой молодец.

[@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.

[@szeddezs]

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@Ai-si8vq]

Great body condition

[@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]

spray it with PAM

[@grandcrappy]

I wonder what cost us to body swap a 1972 Tbird. I am good mechanically but a big forklift, for example, needed in lieu of hoists.

[@mikeande1509]

what does a process like this cost to get done ?

[@charly-s]

A lot of chemistry, big problems to recycle them. Take the price of this scrap vehicle and opposite acid bath, derusting, welding, colors and working and so on. Is it worthwhile?

[@thereefaholic]

What kind of reclamation or filtration system is on your drains?

[@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 😢😢
