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.

This was not only dipped, but e-coated. We have used e-coating in architectural projects in Hawaii with high humidity and salt air exposure and they've done well over the last 10 years, so I can't think of a better application.
My understanding is the "dipping" process" is using a sacrificial anode, and drawing the oxidized metal away, then putting a water soluble sealer on it, before e-coating. So not your traditional an acid dip. |
