Bodyshell acid dipping

[Maikel]

Just for all those who are restoring a car and seeking information. My recent video shows acid dipping result.

I have started a new series of videos on my channel to follow complete nut and bolt restoration.

Many thanks

Thank you for the video.
Interesting to see the ways water can take to perform the inside out corrosion in the body.
One question: how does the specialised shop ensure that all traces of acid inside the hollow areas are fully removed/neutralised?

Hi,

you newd to make sure tobhave at least 2 holes in eaxh cave.
The shell itself is mounted to a rotation frame which will aid to flush the acid out.
Finally it will all be cleaned with a high pressure water and protected with a kind of oil/grease layer which is what you see on the body.

Hope this helps

Yes, thank you.
So a lot of care (by a good workshop) has to be taken. Otherwise it could become a recipe for (hidden) bad surprises in the future...
