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. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Great paint info. I worked in the OEM paint industry for a long, long time, specifically BASF. BASF's aftermarket products were numerous, but most people associated them with Rinshed-Mason. The e-coat tank is the paint so it doesn't get rinsed after application. It would go from the e-coat tank straight to an oven. But I do disagree that the 914 was ever dipped by the factory. The inner longs, once separated, show no signs of paint in that area. That area also wouldn't qualify as a Farraday cage area. Besides, If the longs were already welded together, then that means the heater tubes were also already in place. Those heater tubes would not have survived the pre-treatment or any dipping/e-coating process. Dipping a car now is definitely possible (and this subject comes up every year or so on the World). If it's to be a track car no problem (but im not sure why one would go to that expense for most track cars). But for a car that ever wants to have the capability of producing heat to the cabin again, the heater tubes will need to be pulled before dipping...and that means cutting the outer long to get the tube out. |
