A customer of mine in is doing a 67 912 resto from tub up. The early 912s had the same issues with rust we do and even has foam in them too (just like our 914s).
He used a company in Ohio to dip the car and dissolve the crud (he did scrape off the tar) ans ecoat the entire car. He did the doors 1st to see if he would like the results, and wow! Looks like new metal. Looks like Stoddard will be doing a full write up on this car at some point, but I was so impressed with the results that though I would share.

Dipping cars is something we never recommend. I have heard too many stories of people painting their car and then 3-5 years later it starts to bubble.
The problem is the acid, or whatever they use to dissolve the paint and crud, gets in between the layers of sheet metal where they were spot welded. Then leaches out slowly and causes bubbling. I also speak from experience. We had a bugeye sprite dipped and through out the restoration liquid was coming from the seems. but that's just my 2 cents. Hopefully your buddy got a good company that rinsed it thoroughly. Pete |
