Had a 73, loved that damned car to death. Was my first car I bought it at 16 in high school, drove the hell out of it til I graduated. When I was getting ready to leave for the Air Force I sold it. 23 years later, I retired and found the car but couldn't buy it back. Would love to hear that giant 440 screaming again. Loving your vid, wishing I still had mine.
That was fun to watch. If I ever achieve my dream of collecting 60’s muscle cars I’m sure I’ll need to have a friend like this gentleman here. Good work.
I love the way you spare us the boring details. Straight to the finish. Before, After. Bravo! Why do some people think that if say, they have to thread 12 bolts, we care to see numbers 2-11? No matter how fast they show it. Just first and last will do thank you!
My first real “hot rod” was a 71 charger. I got it when I was 14 & the bodywork took 1/2 of a school year before it was ready for paint. Originally had a 318 & an automatic, but I switched it to a 440 & a 4 speed. God, I loved that car, but it was huge.
Yessir, I bought a '71 challenger in '88 and the floor pans were already shot. Next to the door resided several license plates to cover the holes.... and that was after 17 years.
Its such a shame the cars of this era rust so badly otherwise more of them would survive really enjoying watching your videos and the variety of cars that are coming through
Glad you included the 2nd power wash during the paint strip. These are the most satisfying! First power wash is the best, but then we see those stubborn areas and can’t wait to see those down to bare metal and you skip them! Not this time though. Final blast and walkthrough are great also. Thinking of subscribing. Thanks for the content!
I have restored many cars from the 1940s to mid 70s. All that nasty stripping and rust prep. I really want to try this stripping method next. Your videos are really fun to watch all that old cr@$ pressure washing away!
I love that he throws in a hornet's nest before pressure washing them. It's the mark of a true professional. Probably keeps the looki-loos at bay. I know I hate it when people look over my shoulder when I'm trying to work.
Damn my color blindness with reds is strong, I straight up see a red, not an orange color on that. Almost cherry red, slight orangish tints to it, but red to me. These videos are oddly satisfying and relaxing to watch, also interesting to see what becomes of them after a few dips and washes, is it as bad as it looks? Worse? Better? Let’s find out
Awesome Job! We're in the process of setting up our new facility using our proprietary products and procedures- all Non-HAZMAT in our classic aircraft, Autos & Motos restorations, that we would like to replicate to other others to revolutionize the industry and revive the passion for restoring the classics and maximizing individual's time...
I have done a lot of restorations on my own cars. I always used either mechanical stripping or old fashion air craft stripper. I have 2 cars I love and when it comes time to restore them I'm getting them chemical dipped. Both are amazingly rust free so there shouldn't be too much Swiss cheese!
super cool. for a classic car this process is a no-brainer. ...but with that much rust...seems like the owner should do some repair work before dipping because he will lose both structure (what's left of it) and reference points.
I love these videos. If you're still using a cell phone probably time to step up to a gopro and record in 16:9 ratio. My only criticism but I'm sure you're working on that. have any of these dipped cars owners sent you updates on their restorations???
I was wondering how you flush out the hidden areas, such as rockers, door hinge reinforcement areas, etc after each dip. If I could be sure of getting all the chemicals out of these areas and others, such as the pinch welds, I would love to try this on my next build. Thanks for best video/explanation I've ever seen on how this process works!
@@hdrhighdollarolla6063 Ruins the car I'm a lifelong body man and have seen what happens years down the road....car is worthless as time goes by Walnut blasting is the best
Problem I’ve heard is that down the road, it leaches between the seams and pinch welds. Causes it to blister and swell. It’s why I avoided it on my 71 Charger I’m doing on my channel. I know there is a place that does dip it in primer after. That MAY be better. But it wasn’t anywhere near me. So I went with blasting.
@@drifter9425 You are correct. You can never get all of the acid removed from the seams of the car after the dipping process. Have witnessed firsthand this issue on many cars after a few years being restored. The acid will seep out and literally turns the paint to a brownish gold color wherever the acid seeps out from.
@@VicsGarage71 It does leach out after a little while. Seen this happen on many cars personally. I personally would never dip a car unless I planned on taking the body all apart at the factory seams.
I was thinking about dipping my grand national my only thought is the tank will strip all coating from insides of rockers n frame rails if I can't get to those areas to coat they will rust in future
Man I would have replaced floor and fixed frame with body off and leave body as is and just sand the body rust and fix the rust holes with new sheet metal then paint my patched metal areas with primer base clear and sand down and make a rustic beautiful looking barn find type paint job that looks rough but it's solid and not really rough just looks it but I know this is a 71 and needed a chemical bath bad. I built my own chemical bath as well for doing racecar chassis for asphalt oval and dirt I dip the whole chassis then paint them fresh for each race season for the dirt latemodel and every two seasons for the asphalt pro truck and modified and I used it to take a 1992 left hander Camaro stub latemodel chassis that is out dated and good for outlaw latemodel stock class and it was surface rust and when I was done the frame looked like it was brand new with fresh coat of powder coat it's beautiful car now. Great job as well man
The car is 8n beautiful shape this guy is never going to tire kick my car that little bit of rust comes factory with the car. This is how someone tells you that your car is junk so that they can have it at a cheap price.
For stubborn paint. try sanding half a quarter panel with 40 or 80 grid just to scratch the paint surface before dipping you'll see. Just think one dip only or at the most, 2 dips the paint will peel better Happy trails
Turn the camera on its side and cover more of the car at a time. I sub'ed so I'll be watching for more videos. I have been Known to increase viewership of Channels take for example Pole Barn Garage. Dalton, Of PBG told me personally that many of his Subscribers had found his channel based on my recommendations on other YT channels. I'll look for the Dart Video because Chrysler A bodies are my favorite.
knowing the paint & clear coat on some cars is likely to be a problem, do you ever run over it with a sander & say, 120 grit paper for 20 mins or to open up the paint surface and thereafter allow the first dip to do more? Just curious 🙂
So 2-3 days at a time for dip? Do you have multiple tanks and how many cars can you work on at a time? Seems like you would be limited to 100 or so cars a year and i'm sure this process is in demand. What is the average cost of a dip removal ? Love the 71 charger by the way, had one in high school and i can truly say it was a car that changed my life. Unfortunetly now the are heading into the unobtanium range for the average joe.
This may have been asked and answered. What if you added an agitator to make the tank like a giant ultrasonic cleaner? You should get a shop curtain too keep all the pressure washer spray out of the rest of the shop.

My Dad had a 1971 Charger - this video brings back a few memories!
THis is absolutely the best channel for me to watch for my OCD relief.
Such a cool process! I could watch this all day!!
Love the idea of more videos......Landscape please......Portrait = No Bueno
You do nice work. I wonder if you could shoot your videos in a wider frame so we don't just see a narrow view. Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing! His videos would be fantastic if he would just give that phone a quarter twist.
Yeah, this was clearly shot with mobile devices in mind.
That paint was stubborn AF wasn’t it. I liked the new walkthrough of the before and after. 🥰👍🏻
Yeah crazy stubborn. This was also at the end of the chemicals life too. Thank you! I’ll do more like this then!
@@minute_of_dangle awh yeah.. 🥰

Fantastic to see this process thanks man!
If you can find one send Scuba Steve down with one of these videos. Keep up the awesome work brother. Love the channel!!!
Surprised the quarters were that good. Even with those floors that's actually very little rust for a Mopar from the ones I've seen. Great video!

Yeah it is. Trying to save as many as I can! And thank you I appreciate that!
Какой позор? Время к сожалению уничтожает. А так за столько лет весьма хорошо сохранился кузов🤔
Cool process-wish I was nearer with the means to do that-starting with clean metal is so nice
Interesting to watch and learn. If there was an etching dip to add some teeth for paint to adhere to minimize sanding every crevice.

The little terminator forgot to say, I'll be Back "😁😁😁
Finally! A Dodge. Loved it.
Isso sim é um trabalho de restauração excelente, e esse clássico é muito top ! merece ser restaurado,vai ficar melhor de quando saiu da fábrica.
Wish I found you when I was cleaning up my 1957 Oldsmobile..😁
nice job, interesting to see the process and how effective it is
If you turn your phone on it's side you get a really nice widescreen 👍🏻
First time watching your channel and THIS VIDEO WAS EXTREMELY SATISFYING!!! AWESOME VIDEO BUD THANKS!!!!
Much better video if you film in horizontal mode.
Definitely a lot of good metal left on this baby. Easy restore

Something so satisfying about that pressure washer taken that paint off
Great job👍, saludos desde México 🇲🇽

Excelente quedó esa carrocería!!!!
Great job as usual your videos are really informative and cool to watch
Mate, those are working hands 👍🏾 🫡
the longer videos are better and more informative, still great work.
Reminds me of Terminator 2 when Schwarzenegger's terminator gets lowered into the vat of hot metal in the end. Lol
Nice work
Every time, when I see that thumb up sinking scene - I drop a small tear from my eyes…
love the Terminator, had a 71 from 78 to 80 sold it for 400 dollars it had perfect interior
Love the show. Great Job

Basically KOH or NaOH solution to strip and Citric or acetic acid to neutralize and remove rust
yess to the longer vids !!

Great job
Nice, how do you get rid of the debris from the pressure washing? Also, what happens to the old acid when you change the dipping tank? Thanks
We normally ship it to that really dirty country. You know the one I mean.
It usually gets dumped in eastern Ohio
@@JohnnyK2811 Ohio?

Just caught this, brilliant! Just invest in a better full-screen camera. I'm hooked!
the floor isnt as bad as i expected

Same question here, and does the whole vehicle get dipped in some type of primer after to get into all those hard to reach areas?

Depending on what part of the country you're from that car is in amazing shape and barely Rusty at all
Please video in the landscape mode
I started my next video in landscape. This one was old
Good stuff, fascinating shit..
Thank you!
Curious what the ballpark budget is for that job?
Acid bath IS AN AWESOME BAND!!! So... how many toys are sitting at the bottom. I seen the joker on the 2nd dip. Thought that was cool.
is it possible to start filming these in widescreen
Good for a first video. Next one: camera is horizontal. And, as a number of commenters have asked, indicate the cost of the work.
First time I've seen the bottom of the vehicle being blasted.

My friend very very good and very interesting your channel and video 😂😂 what about the underside??
Would love to see all the bondo on that charger fly off with the pressure washer. Leaving nothing left to the imagination for the car restorer.
How much does it cost to do a car like that ?
Dirty hands, clean money.
Where are you located? And how much do you charge for a complete car?
How much does it cost to get this done? I have always wondered.
Kinda shame bout those 250 Charges that were destroyed makin Dukes of Hazard.
Очень хорошая обработка👍👍👍👍👍👍
You need to get a good camera, cell phone are not good cameras and are more expensive.. love your video's.

Mopars of that era were that rusty after 3 years.
You should of zoomed in on the terminator going in
MOPAR. Mostly Old Paint And Rust.
What about how you do the rest of restorations or simply remove rust and paint from old vehicle bodies and sell them as is?
Try finding a Roger Rabbit to dip with your cars 😮
Awesome job again! Where are you located at?
