- 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.
Can already tell it’s gonna be a killer build by the attention it’s getting.
Man I wish I could have that car when it’s done. Talk about being in heaven.
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.
God bless you for saving this beautiful machine.
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 ?????
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!
Fascinating!
I love watching people do their craft!
I could watch chem dipping all day, it's so satisfying
This is certainly the right way for a complete restoration. Great video thanks.
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 TH-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.
Fantastic work done by all. Very much enjoyed watching the process.
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.
I love when people do things right and right the first time !!!
I've got a fever, a fever - for more cowbell .
That is mesmerizing. Modern times, with modern techniques. Good to know if ever needed.
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.
Very cool to see the process and the instant results!
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 TH-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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Even in her current form she's a beauty! Seeing one of these after they are done brings tears to my eyes.
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.
Such an Incredible restoration procedure! Well Done!!
I’m not into cars but I found your video amazing. Thanks for sharing.
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.
The joker doll going into the vat was a nice touch.
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!😀😀😀
I never knew this process. It was fascinating. Thank You!
Very cool, nice to see one of my favorite cars being loved 👍
All I can imagine is this godly man pressure washing with one hand!!!
Bruh… it’s so soothing seeing this with no volume 😊
Looks awesome cept for a little rust,good job,now the real work startes.
*Except
*Starts
Da Joker ... can't get enough of that spa ..🤣🤣👏👏👏...great videos ...
This was so satisfying to watch.
Thanks brother. 🙏
Pretty neat. Never heard of more less seen this before. Thanks
Nice job looks fantastic! You can find great classic cars rust free and dry in El Paso Texas!
Excellent video of your process.
I love the results.
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...
Great video. Thank you for showing the process. Happy new year
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!
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
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.
Definitely enjoyed the process.
I love these videos you make of the process,very informative...thx
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 👌
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.
Fascinating video. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent vid! Have never seen this entire process.
Always amazes me the rust and the holes you don't see until its back to bare metal.
That was one of the coolest things I've seen. Holy crap. Very interesting vid!
So cool... Love to see it finished 😎
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!
Those little dolls 🪆 are hilarious 😂, great work, absolutely 💯 amazing how the 🚗 cars come out
I don't know why but watching this makes me feel calm
Really enjoyed watching this video
Very interesting I wondered how all that was done good job.
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.
Mr bendo the supervisor character is the bomb 😆
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.
Great job. Appreciate the content.
That was cool!
I've heard about the procedure I've just never seen it before !
They have other guys that do this on here but this guy is cool. All the best.
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!
Appreciate you making it, thank you :)
I'd like to know the total cost and time for this method. Great video
Great video, interesting process 👍🏼🌏🇦🇺
Thanks for posting this !
Wow. Never seen that done before ....thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
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?
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.
The joker action figure was a nice touch 👍🃏🃏
THAT was extremely satisfying.
Simply amazing to watch.
You have an awesome job!
Dam it is prertty solid. The roof prob had a vinyl top that created that hole up top. Really cool.✌️
Fantastic! Looks super..
Not a car guy at all, but I found this satisfying to watch. Final product is very nice.
Amazing job mate!
Thanks, that was fun and educational
great job!!
Terrific! Congrats!
The pressure wash was the most satisfying thing I've seen today. 😂
Really cool shop.
Incredibly satisfying
Sooo satisfying!
Really nice job
That was really kool to watch👌🏻
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
Yeah that was cool thanks.
I would have liked to have heard the next process even though you may not be involved.
For example how you will add metal or bondo to the rust areas how they'll be treated to prevent spread.
Real nice work bro!
Enjoyed the video
Great job.
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 😎
