- Chemically removing the paint and rust off this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.
Step1- alkaline hot tank for paint removal and degreasing
Step2- Food Grade acid bath to remove rust
Step3- apply a water based rust inhibitor
This whole process takes about 4weeks.
I had this video longer with me explaining more but I edited a lot of it out because it ended up being very long. Let me know if you guys would like longer more informative videos.

Never seen the whole process before and the video didnt waste alot of time . Right to the point , good content and moved right along . Excellent !
Killer job! Awesome to see these older vehicles coming back to life
Thank you!
@@minute_of_dangle I have a 49 Ford f1 on my ranch that I bet you could give new life to. It was in a barn here when I bought the place. Still has the flathead 8 in it. It's ruff but not too far gone. Interested?
@David where is your '49 located? Roughly.........

Yes! When we drove cars and trucks, not computers on wheels 😳
I really wish they had this near me! I would love to get my 32 Chevy coupe dipped. I loved the video and real love this work. Just to see everything these cars have gone through and stripping it for a full reset before the start of a new restoration. Keep up the good work.
Always loved muscle cars and restorations! In high school in the 1970s we all had one, got them cheap and all regret not keeping them!
Man I wish I could have that car when it’s done. Talk about being in heaven.
Fascinating!
I love watching people do their craft!
Can already tell it’s gonna be a killer build by the attention it’s getting.
God bless you for saving this beautiful machine.
I'm a Navy vet and my recruiter had a Chevelle. It was sort of beige- yellow-ish. He wanted to use his re-enlistment bonus to restore it. I hope he was able to. Love Chevies.
Thanks for showing the dipping phases and showing the touch up spots I was scratching my head over how in- taked it was but it's a very good find non the less good luck and best wishes with the project
Definitely agree but I suspect the word you wanted was intact*, your Majesty.
I could watch chem dipping all day, it's so satisfying
I am just happy to see a car that bare. I would love to have a hobby job of taking apart cars down to this level.
That is mesmerizing. Modern times, with modern techniques. Good to know if ever needed.
Nice description of the process. Love watching these hope you continue to post them here.
Thank you! There’s a lot more to come!
Nice watching what is killing our oceans and rivers ?????
Fantastic work done by all. Very much enjoyed watching the process.
This is certainly the right way for a complete restoration. Great video thanks.
Excellent saves many many hours of hard work. I know first hand four years ago I took to metal a 71 Chevelle wagon by hand Thanks for showing us the process!
Very cool to see the process and the instant results!
Love the 70 Chevelle SS! My grandfather had one Cranberry red black stripes, tan interior, 396,TH400, 4:10 gear! Looked like the brochure car.
Bruh… it’s so soothing seeing this with no volume 😊
I love when people do things right and right the first time !!!
I've got a fever, a fever - for more cowbell .
Da Joker ... can't get enough of that spa ..🤣🤣👏👏👏...great videos ...
I was told by a hot rod builder that the problem with “acid dipped” cars is that the seams between the metal panel’s joints will become exposed leaving chemicals to leach out and rust later. I had a 69 Charger R/T that underwent a chemical dip and rotisserie resto 15 years prior and it had some rust growing in the door sill and cowl.
My 57 Chevy was a big pain. I eventually overthinned some black rustoleum paint and used a pump up sprayer to try to 'flush' a paint/mineral spirits 'coating' into everything. If I had known to do this immediately after I got the car back, I probably wouldn't have had as much trouble.
Like I posted above, make a complete painting 'Game Plan' for EVERY part of the steel before you have it dipped and then start coating everything with paint and primer immediately! Ya'll Take Care and be safe, John
This definitely removes everything but now places on the car are exposed that can never be protected properly. Will you dip it in an e coat now?
YUP it's gonna rust in years to come in every crevice it's a shame too cause the car was solid
Yep
После окончания в кислоту ,надо окунать в аортофосфорная кислоту ,и потом в щелочной раствор,а далее в грунт.
The joker doll going into the vat was a nice touch.
You have to phosphatize or do some electro coating, right after this. All the weld spots and folded seams are completely bare and won't be covered by a spray gun later on. They will rust immediately and the whole restoration will start to fall apart in a few years.
Absolutely agree and I've been a lifelong auto body shop owner for 40yrs...blasting with walnut shells is the best
I did that to a 57 Chevrolet one time. Car looked great for a while. There was no way to get good primer and paint coverage back on enclosed areas. Even ones cut open, peeled paint rewelding them. I pray that old 57 hasn't completely rusted away by now.
If a shop could paint dip the car after this, that might be the best way.
Ya'll Take Care and have a good plan before you take everything off the metal...
I was kind of thinking the same thing. After all the dips and cleaning, dip it in primer. At least all the voids would be coated with something.
I'm no expert, but I have heard that chemical dipping can cause future corrosion from folded seams that are spot welded, because the chemical gets in and stays in, makes sense to me. And yes how do you possibly spray Prime hidden surfaces, it would have to be dipped in something good.
@@karlmiller7500 yes, what you're saying makes sense about spot welded and folded seams.
For a primer to have half a chance to seep into seams, it would have to be water thin.
That is exactly why I will never dip a car. I’ve been doing restorations for over 40 years. I will never disturb the hidden factory coatings and if I do repair on a area that is inaccessible, after a repair, I will inject Fluid Film in that area. My customer clientele keeps their vehicles forever and have never had any repeat rust issues.
Would be nice to know the cost of the whole process, for those of us interested in the service.
I have heard this is the better and cheaper option that keeps most of the car intact, and protected. Cost would run $2,500-5,000 range. Someone on UA-cam runs a shop and talks about this. It is affordable for those wanting to restore. They do all of the removed parts also just in a separate bath. Process takes 2-7 weeks depending on the work being done and how many baths the car needs. That’s what I have learned recently, I could be off slightly on some numbers but I hope that helps
@@letscheckitout1985 I think you VASTLY underestimate how much it costs to build a vehicle and how cheap this is. Obviously it's not for the "next paycheck or my kids have to sleep at their friend's house because we'll be homeless" type, but it's worth it of you have an old car worth saving. Way cheaper than a whole new vehicle (if that's your thing)
@SquaredCircle or he could just be a kid. I can’t tell because he vanished from the comments section.
I used aircraft stripper on my 69 SS pro street did the job way better than that for $5,000 bucks get yourself some aircraft stripper brush it on your car and then rinse it off it will look better than that I promise you I know what mine turned out to be 100% perfect have a nice day
@@tomikhaos7248 you don't know this because they don't advertise it but the fact is that stripper destroys the steel, it causes something called hydrogen imbrittlement! I wouldn't use that stuff on my automobile for anything under the sun.
All I can imagine is this godly man pressure washing with one hand!!!
Even in her current form she's a beauty! Seeing one of these after they are done brings tears to my eyes.
One of the things about those cars made in the 70s is the factory rust proofing back then was terrible. Hope to see more videos of the full restoration.
Go to Michigan you will see the modern rust proofing is still terrible.
Yeah it seems that rust proofing is still terrible. Ive seen alot of newer cars with rust bubbling up in places around the door handles, seams, and down by skirting.
Rough proofing is still terrible.
Always amazes me the rust and the holes you don't see until its back to bare metal.
Man, that brings back memories. My older brother had a 69 Chevelle SS396, 410 rear end. Yellow with a black vinyl top.I was a teenager and he let me try to drive it. I couldn't get it out if first gear...too much power! Great to see you referring these classics. Thanks.
Something I've never heard of until now... What an awesome way to work on an old car.. 👏
I don't know what it is, maybe I'm weird, but there is something I find so satisfying watching a car get dipped and stripped!😀😀😀
Something so satisfying about the dip.
I so would like to rebuild a 510 Datsun from the ground up one day when I win the lottery.
I guess never on the paycheck I make it's nice too dream.
Nice job can't wait to see the final product.
You should phosphate dip coat it like they do at the factory after you finish the metal repairs.
the acid baths could be creating a iron phosphate on the metals surface. We had a 5 stage wash line prior to powder paint and the alkaline bath cleaned the parts and the acid bath created an iron phosphate coating to protect against flash rust prior to applying the powder paint.
Yes telling us the process was much better.
A time stamp or duration for each dip would cool too! Aloha
Sweet! I appreciate the feed back. I’m new to UA-cam so I’ll definitely get everything all streamlined and more organized
@minute_of_dangle Where are you located, and what is the name of your business? I have a 1962 Biscayne I would like to dip.
Pretty neat. Never heard of more less seen this before. Thanks
I’m not into cars but I found your video amazing. Thanks for sharing.
This was so satisfying to watch.
Thanks brother. 🙏
Definitely enjoyed the process.
Looks awesome cept for a little rust,good job,now the real work startes.
*Except
*Starts
A friend of my parents had one of these. I told her countless times that if she ever wanted to sell it please, please call me 1st. My mother told her to ignore me. To this day I will never let her forget. That was a cool ass car. Arrggghhhh.
Wow. Never seen that done before ....thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
I don't know why but watching this makes me feel calm
I never knew this process. It was fascinating. Thank You!
This is helping me with my project. Just trying see if there body shop in MS skilled, reasonable, and trustworthy enough to do the job. Keeping sending videos. I really like it the content.
Those little dolls 🪆 are hilarious 😂, great work, absolutely 💯 amazing how the 🚗 cars come out
Very cool, nice to see one of my favorite cars being loved 👍
Nice job looks fantastic! You can find great classic cars rust free and dry in El Paso Texas!
I have seen episodes of 'Nicks Garage' and several episodes that included a car ('69 Charger 500) they fully restored. It was dipped like this one was, and it turned out beautiful when it was finished... It is cool to see the process and method of the dipping process... This is the way to go on serious restorations...
I enjoyed your video. I have learned that the steel the manufacturer bought to make their cars is really important. For Example, Fiat corp bought Alfa Romeo and used cheap Russian steel to make both brands. Total rust buckets.Then GM had the Idea for Saturn to use thin sheet steel and build lower body rail by laminating 4 or 5 sheets together then forming the rockers! Salt water would eat these up. I actually could use a long nose plier to roll back rusted metal outer layers just as you would open a sardine can.
My '80s MB had pretty good metal.
Never see them so nice up here... must feel great to have a big hand in saving them 👍
It really does! I love my job
That was one of the coolest things I've seen. Holy crap. Very interesting vid!
They have other guys that do this on here but this guy is cool. All the best.
The joker action figure was a nice touch 👍🃏🃏
THAT was extremely satisfying.
It’s a true tell of how easy it is to strip the paint off a American car as compared how many dips a BMW needs to get the paint stripped
Seeing entire cars being dipped to be stripped gives me this inexplicable sense of *satisfaction. Like, here to new beginnings. A new life. 😄
EDIT: *typo
I used to work for a place exactly like that in Union Grove Wisconsin called Strip-Rite. Probably gone now. Great work!
Incredibly satisfying
Such an Incredible restoration procedure! Well Done!!
Super satisfying! Someone should build a car this way, where you strip it completely to bare, then leave all the pin holes etc.(if it’s not structural) and just clear coat it. Like a clean version of a rat rod 👌
Not a car guy at all, but I found this satisfying to watch. Final product is very nice.
This is so freaking satisfying to watch!
Really enjoyed watching this video
I'm kinda shocked that so much is removed the metal, but the rope it's lowered in by doesn't deteriorate
I was shocked by that as well
Was wondering the same thing
Polyester ropes?
That was cool!
I've heard about the procedure I've just never seen it before !
I love these videos you make of the process,very informative...thx
Привет из г Саратов Россия! Восхищён Вашей работой по восстановлению старых автомобилей. Очень круто. Спасибо за ваш канал! Видно что Вы профи в своём деле. Очень люблю старые американские авто. Приезжайте в гости в Россию, мы всегда рады гостям. Здоровья Вам и вашим близким!
great job!!
Mr bendo the supervisor character is the bomb 😆
Great video. Thank you for showing the process. Happy new year
Great video, interesting process 👍🏼🌏🇦🇺
Simply amazing to watch.
You have an awesome job!
The pressure wash was the most satisfying thing I've seen today. 😂
Awesome! My dad rebuilt a 69 Chevelle from scratch. I bet he wished he could’ve had his dipped before starting. I was helping scrape off old paint with a putty knife.
That’s incredible! And can you imagine the hours and hours and hours and hours we spend doing this by hand and all the rust that we sand down cover over add on to
IS coming back someday💔💔😳
I bet your process pretty much eliminates that old rust from rekindling!
I had a 69 Cheverly and it was a total rebuild. I sent it off to earl Schreiber for $350.00 and he painted it magenta metallic and put a black leather roof top on it and I brought it back to st. Clair shores and drove it for 2 years total and gave it to my little sister who owned Sherman and associates auto body and replacement parts for display at their new business to drive up sales. I drove it back from San Bernardino California and it was a great smooth strong running vehicle, thankyou Jesus.
Great work guy I love it!
Fascinating video. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic! Looks super..
I'd like to know the total cost and time for this method. Great video
Appreciate you making it, thank you :)
Remember,when someone sneezes you dont say bless you it's best to say " you re sooo good
lookin."
A great time saving result, think of the workshop time saved dealing with surprises bondo ,rust etc trying to strip by hand.now ready cut out the and weld in new material.
Excellent vid! Have never seen this entire process.
I wish I still had my 1970 Chevelle SS396. BOUGHT it new for $4099.00. Picked it up December 13 1969 in LIBERTY MISSOURI.
Dam it is prertty solid. The roof prob had a vinyl top that created that hole up top. Really cool.✌️
Thanks for posting this !
Very interesting I wondered how all that was done good job.
Landscape please. Portrait is a crime against humanity. Great job with the dip!
I just happen to ha
ve a 70 Chevelle SS 396 4-Speed...love that car !!!
So cool... Love to see it finished 😎
Excellent video of your process.
I love the results.
It’s nice to see these people preserving these grandma grocery getter’
I want one! This is my dream car.
Do you lose any appreciable amount of metal using this process? I know the same process, albeit more aggressive, was used to lighten shells for racing. I imagine you guys are exposing the metal only as much as is needed but curious nonetheless 🤔 great video! I’ll likely be doing this with my own restoration 😎
This is extremely satisfying to watch.
Oh my god pressure washing that was soooo satisfying
Wow! That gets with the program! I should have done that on my Model A coupe instead of using paint remover and wire brush on my power drill.
