We Made A HUGE Mistake On The 1965 Ford Mustang (WE FIX IT)

[@jimgoss9026]

Honestly, this little mistake has made your end result much better with everything reblasted and primered immediately. The overall coverage is so much better. Looks amazing!!! A great learning experience and at least you didn't find out after final paint! Good job!!

[@Adlerwacht]

It's actually my favorite episode yet, and I watched all the McLaren ones.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

I was wondering if not neutralizing the acid would come back to bite you. That sucks BUT. You are fixing it and now you know. :-). We all learn lessons the hard way, I love the fact that you just just do stuff and learn the lessons. I love the content.

[@terrygirard3744]

Use a product like por15 metal prep next time and follow the directions on the container.

[@TheGhungFu]

Everywhere that acid got down into cracks and gaps will continue to rust even after sand blasting since the blasting can't get it out. Also, using that Evaporust under paint is a big mistake. Evaporust is not the same as rust converter or self-etching primer. Evaporust must be rinsed off completely before priming. I would spray Rust-Oleum Automotive 248659 Rust Reformer into every crack and gap in this car before priming. Too late now it seems.

[@colliecollie6822]

@@TheGhungFu correct. Only way to eliminate rust is to cut it out or take down to bare metal, and immediately primero coat it to prevent flashing. Acid dipping, even with a neutralization bath afterwards will still leave you chasing rust. I have not seen a rust converter product I would trust for a restoration. Have you ever experimented with electrolysis? I have seen decent results with the process on small parts.

[@TheGhungFu]

@@colliecollie6822 I've used rust reformers and converters for years, mainly in those places you can't get to like door seams and welds. Its like a primer after it hardens so best to paint or seam seal over it. Sprayway uses a brush to get it into nooks and crannies. I use a syringe with a utility needle to squirt it into places. I've done electrolysis on old rusty cast iron pans. Doing anything much larger would be on an industrial scale, not DIY, I would think.

[@colliecollie6822]

@@TheGhungFu I'll have to look up the sprayway, hadn't heard of that one. Some cavities are so hard to reach, and some collect those little flakes of rust. The seams are also about impossible to know if you have gotten well treated as well. I used electrolysis on a pedal set and emergency brake assembly once just to try and was surprised by the results. Interested to hear any other products you have had good results with. Chasing rust in seams of an early bronco myself.

[@larrytheableguy3441]

People leave comments to try and help you out, but by the time you read them the mistake has already been made or you make a snarky remark. It's nice to see you are smarter than everybody in the comment section.

[@colliecollie6822]

@@pernels.thyseldew2157 muratic acid is some corrosive stuff. It will take your breath away. Even diluted way down it is still very corrosive. I made a similar mistake trying to clean a motorcycle fuel tank. Diluted the acid, sloshed it around for just a few minutes. Poured it out and tried to use a soda solution to neutralize it. It flash rusted almost immediately and I gave up and ended up buying a new tank for $700!!! Muratic acid is for cleaning morter off of brick only!

The cowl is probaly just as rusted inside. Stick a borescope inside and take a look. Paint on the outside of the front fenders needs to have a hardner to be durable against rock chips and road debris.

[@ezacher4634]

Yeah. Just like it came from the factory! Cowl rust!

[@jakeprewitt3009]

Yeah, that’s something I was wondering about as well.

[@ericsaxon2399]

It was blasted.

[@colliecollie6822]

@@ericsaxon2399 I believe they are referring to the area below that the blasting can not get to. The problem is that the acid will still keep rusting in every crevice. The lower cowl area is just one. The acid most likely ran into the frame rails as well as into the seams that is hard to, if not impossible to blast or neutralize.

[@theupscriber65]

@@colliecollie6822 exactly what I was thinking. If I remember right he didn't coat the underside of the cowl very well and it still had a little surface rust from sitting outside. I worked in a machine shop and the fumes from a bottle of muriatic acid left open overnight caused our entire steel rack to rust even though the liquid never touched most of it.

[@clintprice2123]

All of this is a part of learning and you got it corrected before it became a permanent problem. Now that is is behind you, carry on Ben! Any of us who are really hands on like you have has our share of these moments. I trashed a 390 Ford engine by a simple failure to tighten something as I got distracted, walked away and never righted the bolt. I will never do that again 🤦🏼‍♂️. It was a life teaching moment. This just made you better and wiser.

[@jun1977i]

the coating that they put on the floor from factory is for Sound Dampening the car, you can use Rockville Rockmat for that. what happens is that any rock or anything that touch the metal while you drive is going to make a sound that is annoying, especially if the car sit low.

[@Andrew-J316]

Looks much better the second time around! Thanks for showing us what happened and how you fixed it!

[@eddieconquest6018]

for the bare metal it would be best if you use an etching primer it works better and will stop the rust

[@Simpson3386]

he used DTM Primer so its made to go directly onto bare metal..

[@danielwillliams9669]

This is by far the best video I have ever seen you do. Your mistake help others from doing the same thing and it turned out for the better. Because of the mistake - you went on ahead and blasted the interior and because of that, it looks amazing. Way better than just coating what was there. Great mistake for better results. Your build, I am just along for the ride. Keep Rocking!

[@starkyslp16]

Appreciate you bringing us along for the ride while you fixed this. That way we can learn with you. Looking good now!

[@terrallputnam7979]

You live and you learn 💯. Still a great build.

[@goodtimesslim3387]

It's called "learning". No big issue. In 25 years you'll be a master mechanic. No one is good at anything with out practice and mistakes. Also, try turning down the wire speed and voltage when welding thin sheet metal. I use to weld 12Ga doors. Those welds could be much cleaner. Again, you're learning so it's all good. Keep up the good work my dude. Do not take the negative comments to heart.

[@floodx4947]

Practically from the start of your channel you have had dozens, maybe hundreds of people try to HELP you in the comments, but you have always seen that as HATE instead, and not only ignored it, but ridiculed your viewers.

[@muskokamike127]

7:08 had the same issue. I was welding up some big perf metal panels for hand railings in an old factory loft building and degreased them all with a citric acid degreaser and hosed them off after. Then applied a clear lacquer over the whole thing when they were dry. Fast forward a week and they rusted UNDER the clear coat because the acid kept working. It was ok because they wanted the rustic/factory look since the building was built in 1905 and it suited the "style".

[@lennym1273]

You lucked out on that job hey? lol

The mustang is looking good now that the rust issue is gone. Good job! Manual transmission cars can be alot more fun and your brakes last longer. However I'll admit newer electronically controlled automatic transmissions shift alot faster and are great if you want to go fast in a straight line, like on a drag strip. At the end of the day its your car build it how you want.

[@edwardvalentim6130]

Good job !!! What a great come back from that little bump in the road !!! Don`t be in a hurry take your time and try to thing a couple of steps ahead for each task. Maybe pick up a dry erase board and make a list of each project that needs to be done along with the parts and supplies for that task. Can`t wait to see what`s next !!!

[@chrisrobles2012]

Not sure why you wouldn’t just scuff and primer the roof or any part like doors and fenders all at the same time. It’s so much work to do it a second time. I’ve honestly never understood people using pipes or fresh sheet metal and not sanding and spraying it with primer before welding. All those arcs and splatter cause rust. It’s much easier to just scuff or grind away a weldable area than trying to sand rust away in hard to reach spots. Glad you got it straightened out.

[@roodborstje6377]
