Chemical Dipping a 1972 De Tomaso Pantera to remove all the paint and rust
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Today for your viewing pleasure I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this classic 1972 De Tomaso Pantera.
I am using a proprietary 3 step process. First I will dip the car into an alkaline paint remover and degreaser. The car will remain in the tank for a few days, then it will be removed and pressure washed. This step will be repeated until all the paint, seam sealer, undercoating, and filler is removed.
After the car is bare metal it will then go into a food grade acid bath to removal all the rust. The car will remain in the acid for about 2 day, it will get pulled out, neutralized in our alkaline tank to stop from flash rusting, then pressure washed. This step will also be repeated until all the rust is removed.
The last step we dip the car into our water based rust inhibitor to protect the bare metal for up to 30 days.

That is the best Pantera you will ever see. Italian cars of the 70's were total rust buckets. A superb find of a unique very rare "super car".
fix it again tony, amirite
To be honest all the 70's cars are subject to rust (american and german included)
*Looks better after the dip. Fix the rust, clear coat it and mount all the parts.*
Me and my friend are restoring his grandpa's 1981 Fiat 900t that's been sitting in a field for 20 years. Let me tell you, for being an italian vehicle of that era it held in pretty good shape. It only has the engine compartment completely rusted, a couple of rust holes and one jammed door (you bet it, the lockworks is too rusted)
I thought the bodies were built in Argentina? Were they actually made in Italy?!
What would be really kind of neat is doing some follow up with your early dip customers. Seeing some of the vehicles hopefully, by now, are complete and do a walk-through of those. Kind of an easy re-cut where you could take your dipping stuff and tag it on to current activity. Keep the videos coming. Fun stuff!
Mine will be ready for paint in a few months. Maybe T and I can get something together
My thoughts exactly. I would LOVE to see the restoration process for this Pantera.
Agree entirely. Was looking for the next videos showing the full restoration journey only to realise that's not what this channel is! Would be great to see finished product.
The Pantera is my all-time favorite car. This design is 50 years old. I remember when they first arrived at the local Lincoln-Mercury dealers (the US distributor). This was intended to be the Mangusta replacement.
And the Cobra killer. ✌🏻🇺🇸
@@RedLP5000S _Mongoose!_
a lot of wedge shaped cars look badass
The driving position was so bad tho... All I remember was steering wheel front slightly off centered left, and all three pedals completely off to the far right. Just thinking of driving that car again hurts my sciatic nerve. 😂
@@RedLP5000S Auuhhh...not quite but close. With the 289 in the Roadster & Daytona Coupe; I wouldn't bet on the Cobras. However, either car body w/ the 427FE 'R' Code & they'll say bye to the Pantera. I'm disappointed that De Tomaso & Ford didn't do more w/ the 351C. I bought my new '73 Ford Capri(V6, 4-sp.), dark Ivy Green w/ a black vinyl roof & a tan interior in late April. Sharing the showroom floor was a Pantera w/ the ugly '73 'safety' bumpers. My Capri had safety bumpers as well...eck! My Capri listed for $2,580, the Pantera was a staggering $10K.
Nice Job all that primer and paint came off so Clean. As a Crane Operator for some 33 years now Retired. Grab a copy of Bob's Rigging Hand book, Take a good look at you Rope and it's Weight Rating , if anything you are using for Hoisting, is not Rated Don't use it.
I'm not trying to be a hard ass but I have seen so many Failures, I would hate to see one of your ropes let go and Damage, a cool project like that.
Build yourself a Spreader Bar, purpose built for your fork lift to handle Low and easy. so all four corners are pulling straight up no Torque or Twist. All poly rope are Effected by Heat,Chemicals, usage and age. Softeners on all four corners, check you local fire station, they throw away fire hose, and it makes great Softeners, to bend around sharp metals. Rigging has purpose built eyes for Shackles, all rated, any knots can reduce the Ropes Rating by Half , Rated Chain might be good going in the Dip Tank.
Just a coupe of Ideas to keep old Murphy's law away from a Classic Pantera.
Oh hell yes, I know you all, have Pulled your brothers, one ton 4x4 pulling a horse trailer, up hill in the snow with nothing but Wall Mart twine and the elastic from big Mikes Boxers Shorts But One Oh Shit Erases, all the Atta a boys, in a Flash.
The e-coat result looks fantastic. Taking care of all those nooks and crannies which are typically missed with other coating methods seems like a huge bonus.
It wasn't e-coated in this video. It had several acid baths.
12:41 After E-Coat
Looks like what Derek at Vice Grip garage is in for soon enough
Doesn’t look exactly like his. Same color combo. But didn’t the drivers rear have a ton of dents?
@@therealsasquatch7779, they meant that Derek needs to do his Pantera soon.
It is interesting to see inside and compare both cars…
I think both were painted yellow originally.
Probably one of the better bodies you have dipped. No crash or repair work, and only really rust damaged area is at the bottom of the front storage area. I would love to see this once it is painted and restored.
Those cars are worth a ton of money now too. I passed up buying back in the late 80s because it had some rust. It was all original with the 351 Cleveland , but not running. He was asking $6500. I should have bought it, but I found a running 67 Mustang fastback instead.
The front storage area also was the site for the battery, which could 'splain the rusted out metal.
The pressure washing is so satisfying to watch! I want to have my car dipped sometime so it can be brought back to it's original form once again.
Nothing less than art restoration. So glad there are people that don't let these pieces rust and die.
PANTERA IN THE ACID? BYE BYE CAR
You probably won’t see this comment because you get so many views but I LOVE this channel. I think what you do for cars is awesome. I’m a big car guy and just love what you do. Thank you very much
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
you little ass kisser. whats that all about.
Love the work this guy does! Starts the long process of restoring cars that really deserve saving/ restoring!
Thanks buddy!
This video made my day. I've had a couple of these cars over the years and was told they had a ton of lead filler from the factory. Now I know where all of it is. The car here has way more rust than anything I've ever owned though one of mine had at least three repaints and so could use that alkaline strip. This car looks like it was stored outside for a while allowing water in. I hope the owner is good at welding.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
I can’t understand why the fenders and quarters look less than ten years old?
Or the owner is Good at spending MONEY!!!!
Wow. What a survivor. Another excellent blank canvas. I prefer the restoration over the modernized custom creation. Bravo.
This is amazing work .. most people have their idea of what dipping is all about, but to watch this process and see this beautiful Pantera and now ready to be restored is a site to behold... Thank you so much for this video!
Great to see this car getting revitalized. This is from my era (I'm 74). Cheers to you.
Watching power washing is much more satisfying than doing power washing.
I dare to say, the whole planet would like to watch this car's restoration...
head over to mymechanics. he's doing a complete datsun restoration. amazing to watch!
was thinking the same
You need to show this video to Vice Grip Garage. He is in the middle of restoring one of these cars.
Sunbeam Tigers are another great car to save. A lot of power in a small footprint !
would’ve been cool to see the pressure washing after the second paint strip dip. that would be the most satisfying to watch 😊
You have my DREAM job.... making old things new again, HUGE tubs of deadly chemicals, killer power washers, CARS!! I'm sure cleaning up the mess and dealing with regulations isn't so fun.... but I'd be happy getting up in the morning to do what you do
My Detomaso Pantera GTS was completely stripped to a bar shell. It was media blasted top to bottom inside and out. I was shocked to see all the cancer. Lucky for me the body shop was able to fabricate panels that were no longer available. You better have deep pockets and committed but it feels good to have a rust free car. Johnny Woods is still making repair panels for these cars.
I , enjoyed watching this. I was 16 when the Pantera first came on the US Market. They had two or three of them on the front row at the Lincoln Dealer. Always imagined myself owning one but even though I worked with Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini for the later half of my career, I never got around to getting a Pantera.
What a sweet car, love these and THIS ONE is great. Very little gives me the kind of happiness these do to see something so wonderful being saved. Great stuff THANKS!
They were originally yellow from the factory, which you can see by the yellow headlight mounts and some of the floor boards. VGG just bought one and his was originally yellow as well.
Did you know that Alejandro DeTomaso, the creator of the company, was from Argentina (like Horacio Pagani) and was a high school classmate of the infamous Che Guevara, they led very different lives... Greetings from Argentina!
I love it when you can see the history of hundreds of dollars worth of repairs revealed under the paint.
My favorite part of the job
What about a collab with VGG and their Pantera?
What I first thought as well
I thought it might be his. Same color.
Back in the 80th a Panthera was used in Dutch Stock Car racing. A fan favorite. Remarkable survival skills present in this car.
Great video. You may want to suggest to the owner to use Eastwood Internal Frame Coating Rust Prevention Aerosol to prevent rusting from the inside of the frame rails.
im really enjoying watching videos on people's hard work. so soothing to watch
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it!
i wish if you kept the sticker
Yeah.. it wasn't if he didn't know it was there either 🙄
That's gonna be a beautiful car once restored👍
My friend has one of these that he purchased in the mid 70's. I got a ride in it then and it was unbelievably noisy and fast. He still has it stored in a garage somewhere.
An absolutely best way of respraying a Car..preparation is everything...
In your case it’s preparation H
Absolutely gorgeous car. Fantastic work. Hope to be lucky enough to see the car after it's been fully restored someday.
I’m going to message the ecoater and have him take some pics after it’s finished. I’ll try and get pics of when the whole things finished too
Thank you. That would be awesome. Such a unique and beautiful body style on that car. I remember it well seeing it here and there as a kid. @@minute_of_dangle
this is my late grandfather’s car! My father is still having it worked on, hoping to get some replacement parts soon! it’s quite the process but very exciting :)
That's a great illustration of what happens before paint bubbles appear from rust formation......first of all you get those 'black spiders' creeping outwards, that are barely visible until the paint is actually removed. That Pantera was covered in spiders.
I have always loved the Pantera. The combination of Italian design and American muscle creates an emotional reaction in me better left to the privacy of my mind. 😊
Whoa... a mythical beast of a car this one... You may not see another one.
Best one yet! I too love Pantera's, the perfect mix of European and American engineering. Nothing better than that old Cleland or drop in a Coyote with a super charger.
I remember walking through a parking lot at Ft Huachuca, AZ in 1972 .. finding and walking around a Pantera ... what I mostly remember is how low the roof was. Nothing like I had ever seen before in person.
This gives a whole new meaning to "dip your car."
And that’s how you wash a car. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I love the DeTomaso Pantera. Rare exotic car indeed. On my list of favorites along with the Maserati Bora and Chapparal 2D. Hope the restoration goes well.
It's not rare, they made 7000 of them.
Original Pantera yellow was awesome. Neighbour of mine bought one new and I recall it vividly. Super cool new car that only started half the time.
Imagine what this bad boy will look like after a full renovation 🤔👌
PANTERA IN THE ACID? BYE BYE CAR
My older cousin had one of these and it was probably the fastest and scariest car I have ever been in. It was so cool
Thank you for preserving these magnificent pieces of history. ✌🏻🇺🇸
I’ll keep it up! Thank you for watching!
My most favourite car. I had a Dinky toy model of one as a 5 year old and have loved them for the fifty years since. Happy new year all.
Who else thought this whole process took a day or two 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I've said it before, but I'll say it again, Great Content.
Great Channel.
A lot of people think that lol. Thank you so much! I appreciate that.
Sweet... I would really like to keep an eye on the rebuild on this one if possible. Nicely done!
Thank you! I’m really hoping he sends me some pics. I’ll definitely try and get pics after ecoating also
Boy this is going to look fantastic once it's restored
OMG! ASMR! Watching that paint come off with the pressure washer is soooooooo satisfying! 😁
❤ I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
That was one of the most satisfying things to watch ever...
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it
I guarantee the rust you show is just the tip of the iceberg. The most critical place where a Pantera will rust is in the rear inner wheelhouses. You showed inside the engine bay but failed to show the opposite side. Rust there is catastrophic because the body is the chassis. The rust at the bottom of the B pillars indicates the structure behind is gone. The structure at the bottom of the door pillar posts is probably suspect too, along with the inner, middle and outer rockers. I’ve been through all of that and more with my Pantera and it’s a huge job to address it properly.
I can’t imagine doing and paying for such a process. I bet you get a call every other day about finding more things that need money. Every time I see an old dirty classic on a flat bed I say “ there’s a diamond in the rough and a divorce”
I guarantee no one fuckin cares about the rust ….
@rosco3659 you sound like a person with a full and joyful life.
@@Creepin294whats the matter poopsie ?? Did you get triggered ???
My life be like oooo ahhhh!
The comment was hidden by yt, can't see it
Seen this process before. Amazing. As I know little about this it's hard to imagine how this car would be restored. I guess first thing would be to do all the metal work, then primer, and undercoating to start with.
Very interesting even to a guy who will probably never restore another car. Walk around and pictures of the GSX at the end were excellent, if I ever did restore another car it would be getting shipped to you!
"My name's Trevor and I'll be your stripper today" Magic Mike music intesifies
Rust looks like it was where the water settled. Great to see it stripped back to what looks like a blank canvas.
I can't wait to have my nova done. Hopefully your still doing it when I'm ready because I would like to get a quote on how much I'd be looking at! Nice work!!
I should have dipped the Pantera I restored, but I did not want to completely disassemble the body. So I stripped the paint it piece by piece. Every time I touched one area, I found another problem, but I eventually finished it.
That one was in excellent shape. Not many of those left. Nice work getting it ready for body repairs.
Why do I find this so satisfying to watch? 🙂
Pressure washing is satisfying. This is beyond that!
I wonder if anybody has ever hydro dipped a car?? That would look cool.
Wow, that thing is in GREAT shape. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video ... I've never seen an acid dipping done before and how easily it pressures off. Wish the Pantera ID was removed before it was dipped.
It must be terribly exciting to get a perfectly clean car back to begin work… I’d imagine if I were the client and that were my car I’d be ecstatic
I still enjoyed watching you strip. When I see people use a peanut shell air stripper, I think that’s so abrasive on the metal. I tell them of your company and maybe on local to where they are.
excellent work and attention to detail
Inside and out, those cars are such a work of art
I agree
Beautiful paint removal job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A freind of mine had one of these back in the seventies if my memory serves me right, it had a blown motor he couldn't source one so he put a small block Chevy motor in it. I remember at the time it was a thing of beauty back then.
My 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super - that I owned for 21 years - had MUCH less rust on it.
(I sold the car, as it needed new blood)
Looks almost as fun as peeling scabs.
I read this as chemical dipping De Tomato Pasta.
Great. Now I want tomato pasta.
The cost is pretty good considering the ammount of time it takes to dip a car. It would save you weeks of sandblasting or sanding and doesnt warp the panels at all and completely cleans everything that you cant get with sandblasting/sanding. Thinking im gonna get my project dipped
Brings me back to when I used to strip and clean silk screens for printing lol that pressure washer hehe
Did a complete restoration one of these in a European Auto body shop, in the late 70s, it was also red, surprisingly these bodies are extremely easy to work on.....
As long as you are dipping it,
I'd love to see it nickel plated.
🤔
Love those Pantera's 🥳
That would be so sick!
@@minute_of_dangle Or just clear coated to preserve that look^.
A neighbor of mine had a yellow 74. Head gaskets had to be done so the mechanic put it back together and ran the headers uncapped. Nothing like a Ford 351 Cleveland 4V being absolutely rude with no mufflers.
I know that Panteras both had rust and paint problems , I am still amazed how much surface rust there was under the paint on this one!
That's such an awesome car. Plus I love the Roger Rabbit.
So fresh and so clean.
It's all about the phresh.
The one and only way to make an restoration !!!
Looks like it was originally painted yellow. I worked at a Datsun BMW dealership when I was in High School. We had a Yellow Pantera traded in on a new BMW 3.0CS. It was the same yellow this car had. It had been dinged on the left nose and repaired. I’ve wanted one ever since. Beautiful cars but had the heaviest clutch I’ve ever mashed down on.
Worked on one in the late 80s I think they were made with rusty metal to start with, it had been in San Diego it's whole life but was a bag of rot, we ended up breaking it for spares
That honestly is such a cool thing to see!!!
To quote an old shaving cream ad: "Take it off, take it off, take it all off".
That was very satisfying to watch. I owned a Pantera years ago, it was a blast to own. Well done.
Bloom Countyl!!
The older I get the smaller my list of 'dream cars' gets, but I still want one of these beautiful cars. I know they have flaws but I don't care.
I've restored a few old cars and dipping would have been very helpful. When you're dipping a car like this do you also dip the doors, trunk lids, hoods and misc parts? If so, might be good to show that process as well.
Watch their previous videos
no wonder noone here gets that done not that there is anyone left to do it that must cost a fortune. i do like your videos
Great content, it would be nice if they were just a little longer. Don't think any would mind a 20 min. Video of your content. Keep up the great work. 🎉
Thank you! I can try to make some a little longer. Hopefully it will hold people’s attention
@@minute_of_dangle2 weeks in the tank , do you have to change chemicals after each car ?
When I was 12 I stripped and entire mustang with a DA and a wire wheel, this dip tank was like a wet dream
Great job guys, best results start from scratch 👏.
Great selection of old cars from my eara.
❤from New Zealand supporters ❤
❤❤❤ thank you!
While others prefer the Ferrari or Lambo, the De Tomaso Pantera ( early 70's models ) has always been my dream car. It's a road warrior.
Love the Pantera. Italian design matched with American V8 grunt. 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome the first Pantera I’ve seen dipped Subscribed
Much appreciated!! Thank you! I’ll keep the videos coming!
I watched this while my PS5 controller recharged. Back to Power Wash Simulator.
i decided to have some pantera playing in another tab while watching this, cause why not
Pantera... My dream car since i'm a kid.
