How to Derust Steel Like the Son of Frankenstein - Get Rid of Paint and Rust from Steel

We're going to show you a method of removing rust by using electrolysis to remove both paint and rust from an antique part. We're going to demonstrate by using a headlight bucket for a 1935 Hupmobile Aerodynamic. In a prior video we used an acid-based method to remove rust. Our predecessor didn't bother to remove the rust before applying a coat of primer to this headlight bucket. We're using an alternate method than we have in the past to remove the rust and primer. In this process we're going to use electrolysis to convert the rust into iron oxide that then will be rinsed and wiped off and it will almost be ready to paint.
You'll need a 5-gallon bucket with about 4 gallons of water.
large piece of steel (13"x9"), curved for fitting in the bucket.

Excellent video. Doing some resto work on a 1964 Sunbeam Tiger. Just saved me $100's of dollars buying an upgraded compressor and sandblast cabinet. Also - will try the zinc plating of bolts and nuts in a couple of days when Amazon delivers materials. Thanks for the tips and tricks! Subscribed.

Back in the late 70’s there was an old country junkyard that had a little car body without a motor or transmission. The guy wanted $1000 for it. He said it was a Sunbeam Tiger. I didn’t know anything about one. Now I sure wish I had bought that little body since I know just what it was. And how something like that got to a little country junkyard in Oklahoma, who knows. Enjoy your car. It’s a neat one. Tom
