Chemical dipping a 1958 MGA Coupe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this 1958 MGA Coupe prior to its complete restoration. I’m going to take you through the process we use to completely chemically strip cars down to bare metal. This is a more thorough alternative to sand/media blasting with no chances of metal warping on thin panels. This process shows you exactly what you are working with and gives you a blank canvis to work with!
It is a 3 step process
Step 1) alkaline degreaser and paint remover
Step 2) Food grade Rust removing acid
Step 3) Water based rust inhibitor
The total process takes around 6 weeks because we use environmentally safe chemicals.

Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it to be true. An MGA without rust does not exist, a unicorn.
I played this video because I wanted to see just how hopelessly rusted it is. I was just as surprised as you.😮
An MG period with out rust! That’s like a Dodge or Plymouth without rusting rear quarters!
Truer words have never been spoken.
Must have spent its entire life in a garage!
Well.... no floors or sills and the boot has plenty of at least surface rust, so maybe it wasn't as unicornal as it first appears.
First of all, can we all say what a true classic this car is? This had to have come from the southwest. UK cars usually come standard with the rust package, and this thing is in impeccable shape! Awesome job, Travis!
Exactly👍
I am absolutely speechless! This 1000% a all natural unicorn that has been kept in a garage, climate controlled glass case. That must be the only reason this classic hasn't disintegrated into a pile of rust dust. Truly, truly beautiful. Thank you sir for anotjer wonderful video.🙏💜
I sold my 1959 MGA to a friend about 20 years ago. At the time the only rust on it was some mild speckling on the chrome wheel covers. The body, frame, and powertrain were straight. Had the original wooden floorboards in good condition. It helps to live in a part of the world where a tenth of an inch of rain results in three days of discussion and major flood predictions on the TV news.
Like everyone else, I am awe-struck by the lack of rust and excellent condition this MGA is in. Surely it must've been kept in a very dry part of the US!
Shake and bake for sure! Looks great!
I'm actually shocked that there isn't a spot of rust anywhere. I hope eveyone appreciates how rare that is. Nice job buddy, I would love to be the one to sprey this MG.
So satisfying to watch! Awesome!
The most satisfying straight body MGA ever❤
Excellent job, looks brand new! Why are these videos so satisfying?
This channel is evergreen. His content will always be awesome for car enthusiasts, restoration guys and just anyone who likes this type of satisfying 👌
@@maggs131 It's Tom Sawyer painting the fence, he makes it look fun. Plus, us guys just love doing this kind of stuff.
I had a '58 MGA Coupe. This one is on fabulous shape! I still consider them to be one of the prettiest cars of the 1950s.
Always watching the dipping processes and what the cars are hiding once the process is finished
Apart from the lack of rust what amazed me was the number of panels to make up the roof 👍👍
I’m truly surprised as to how solid it is, the first time I see a practically rust free British car. To me it’s unheard of.🎉
When I was a kid I had a 1959 MGA ragtop. I put _a lot_ of miles on that beast. Kinda wish I still had it.
I like how positive you talk about almost everything! It's rare in the world. PLEASE continue being positive, and it's a blessing you have.
Another great episode !!!! Cheers!!!
Watching every episode of the channel, i always wonder where the trunk. Hood, doors or any other painted parts are, and whether you dip those too? And if so, why aren't there videos of these pieces?
Best I've ever seen.
Absolutely amazing!
G'day . Always enjoy the channel. MGs and most English cars are considered rust buckets here in Australia. You have museum piece right there. Beautiful work on your part too.
What is the average cost of having a car dipped?
Wondering that too!!!???
Good question!
I believe $4,000.
Perfect job
Outstanding
Amazing. I would like to see how a Volkswagen 1302 or 1303 body shell come out after chemical dipping.
Dang... that one looks like it's in incredible condition.
What is the next immediate step that they take to protect the shell? tHanks for the video!
It would have been very interesting to see this particular car with just a clear coat, no paint.
Cool
Impressive for its age!
Be great to see the rebuilding complete in some of your videos
As good as the day it left the factory, the age of miracles has not passed.
Do you do all the removable panels-doors, fenders, bonnet, and boot-in the same tanks, just at different times? Or do they get their own treatment elsewhere?
I never knew the roof was made out of all those smaller pieces. I’d just assumed it was was a larger stamping…. The way this is welded together is borderline coachbuilding.
Many extra bits were dipped too; perhaps a video would show the complexity of that fender and small parts housekeeping as I bet it's more time than the chassis. Anyway, love this.
Beautiful.
Great video, Last time I asked if you could include some pictures of an intact car so us UK viewers would know what it looked like, So you decided to do a British car for u. Thank you
That thing’s only a year
younger than me, wish
I looked that good 😅
Love all your vids, have watched them all. But surprised you don't have a rotisserie setup to do the undersides... it has got to suck to do it from below. Inspection would be easier too and you could flip it all directions. Must be something I'm missing here.
That is amamazing. Normally those begin to rust on the factory floor.
I don't think there was many coups produced
I think I have found my Job For Life: operating the jet wash, lol. What an amazing body shell that is too.
May you could talk a little more about the process on the video. The type of chemicals, concentration, why it takes so long to work, the difference to modern factory acid bath, cost compared to sand blast etc. Talk more everything that is not a business secret, obviously.
how exciting someone is going to have a brand new 58 MGA
Pity you couldn't bottle some of that American weather and bring it back to the UK. It's the best rust proofer.
great little car = IN WINTER ! - get dam hot in summer Australia - saw a twin cam or two - and nice with a 1800 cc MGB engine and all syncro box ! chassie and wooden floor boards - MOSS MOTORS supply parts !
These were rust buckets. Some of the spot welds look too new. But the US climate, Ca or Tx must keep these cars sweet.
Someone mentioned a 58 Caddy and a glovebox. But the 58 caddy are common as muck. These MGA's are really really rare, whatever glovebox it fits into.
Unusual to see an MG as solid bodywork as this one normally all like Swiss cheese and full of filler or the odd panel replaced
I bet Ken Miles sold this to someone originally in the US
One of the prettiest cars ever built. Even the coupe model.
Minute 3Min.53, Kent gleich mitgebadet, schön.
For someone rebuilding a car this is the lonely way to go.
Does this leave the car galvanized? Or would it be transported back home under a few layers of plastic?
Where's the fenders the hood in the trunk lid in the doors do you guys dip those too?
Yeah we have smaller tanks for they. I usually post those videos in my shorts
Do you use any type of phosphoric acid solution to keep the bare metal from flash rusting?
My thoughts exactly
Yes it's the neutralizer.
That thing is concourse level all by itself.
I would love to see some of these cars, not complete, but in progress with the people working on them talking about what it's like to have a bare metal chassis to work with. I've never done it, but I'd love to hear other people who have talk about it.
💯
They were painted in Acrylic Laquer,, real paint,,,, not that 2 pak crap, ALL MG,S needed another 40 Hp regardless of model.
You are right, the paint just flew off this car alright. I enjoy watching these videos and have a couple of questions for you, Do you flip the cars over to blast underneath, and do you spray some sort of rust preventive coating onto the car. Cheers from NZ, Phil
I agree. That's absolutely the best way. I would love a frame off restoration that started that way.
I wish I knew then what I know now, I never would have parted with my '58 Coupe so many years ago. But then, isn't that true for ALL the cars I've ever owned? LOL!
what a fantastically delicate structure!
and i always thought the roof was stamped as a single piece!
If we clean it using this method, the body will rust quickly. Can you create a video tutorial for the complete restoration?
I wonder if you ever get pictures of the finished product after the build.would make a good before and after. Plus I love the old cars
The Joker in the acid-bath made me smile.
GREETINGS FROM ECUADOR, IN WHICH YOU SUBMERGE THE PIECES TO REMOVE ALL THE PAINT, THANKS IN ADVANCE
How do you prevent the bare metal from rusting before the customer gets it back?
Please tell me that I really like this job and I would like to open a business in a European country.
amazing service but i hope all the guys are protecting their lungs in there using correct equipment...at least gas tight air masks.....you only get one set of lungs.
A dome roof like that must hold a big air pocket that never gets the chemicals reach it. What can you do about that?
it looks like there could be air trapped underneath the inside of the roof. Can the acid get up there and do his job? Or do you do anything special to get rid of an air bubble there?
There is a yellow rubber hose ran from under the roof for this purpose.
Wth thats like mint body no rust? You dipd museum quality car just for you tube? :D
My first car was a 1961 MGA mark 2 , I had that car back in 1966 so sorry I every sold her 😩
Was this a Twin Cam, Special, or regular 1600?
Lacquer falls off easy.. As for rust , it's probably a testament to keeping it in a garage..
Wow, almost a shame to lose the originality. I hope the fenders were horrible, leading to the decision to go this far.
I see Roger Rabbit is back! BTW, I forgot to comment when you asked about this, but I do appreciate the brief introductory talk about each project… it's interesting to compare the expectations to the eventual results.
Would it still get a rust inhibitor applied? Or do you leave it as-is for the customer, with a chance of flash rust appearing?
When these chemicals eat the paint , what happens in all the box sections when they are left completely unprotected for the rest of the life of the vehicles life, just rot out??? My old car were bad because the box sections were never painted until body dipping came along..
The paint falls off just as quick as all the other parts on British cars.
What chemical products do you use in each phase and what is the proportion?
So uh how do i apply to pressure wash just pressure wash nothing else i'll clean up i promise♡
Laser removal is more effective and doesn't require toxic chemicals.
Everytime i watch one of these cars get hosed off, i just wish i was there to tell him where he had missed a bit 😊
Like everyone else I can’t believe how rust free this is, my uncle had one here in Australia, and it wasn’t like this one 😂
Which types acid and alkaline u r using? I wanna make the same thing in Russia.
Do you prime the car bodies after you do the final pressure wash? I’m wondering if it will flash rust
Is it real acid vat or a fake one that has fake skeletons in case you have to demonstrate that the acid is real?
My 1961 MGA 1600 was this straight and zero rust ... normal for Texas BTW. You don't mention paint stripping of the doors, boot and bonnet ... as they're Aluminum, will you use a different dip solution or Soda Blast? Just wondering. Great job !!!
Looks like it would be simpler to 3-D print a whole new one?
Give me the pressure cleaning wand ! You missed a spot !
was that Roger Rabbit I spied in front of the acid bath?
Had a love/hate relationship with a 1959 MGA convertible back in the mid 1960's. Damn thing kept catching on fire. Ended up selling it. Now not really sure if i regret that or not.
Is this French Turco 4181 chemical???
What if...... the bonnet, boot and doors had stayed on? How does aluminium stand up to the chemical dips?
3:52 The Dip Dolly approves! Seriously, though, nice hot bath. It's looking amazing.
What an interesting video. Is the reason you didn't clean the bottoms of the floor, fenders, roof, etc. because there's no way to support the chassis for such cleaning? Thanks! 👍👍👍
Which chemical used to remove powder coating
58 and its more clean than most 2000 to 2010 cars on the road lol
Excellent video , excellent car .❤
what would be the cost to do a 1965 Ford Mustang fastback
Where do you find these cars with perfect metal?
