I follow this YouTube channel and have been hoping they would dip a 914. Surprisingly good shape under that paint. I was wondering if just the windshield hoop would be left (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). Enjoy!

I’m a big believer on getting the car chemically dipped. It’s the only way to clean up all the inside layers of metal. Our cars really do rust from the inside out, particularly where the seams were spot welded. Any time you weld metal, it’s going to burn off all the protective coatings. However, once you dip the car, now it’s 100% raw metal and you have to e-coat it to get that protective layer back on every seam and inner layer. Sprayed on primer and paint won’t recover the metal that the chemical dip exposes. So plan on another $3-4k to get the e-coat done.
