24OZ: Prepared bodyparts for alcohol dipping - JDMjunkies.ch
I’ve been working for my job like crazy lately and now i have a lot of overtime. So i decided to take one day off and spend some long overdue time in the garage 🙂 I’ve saved some money lately for bringing parts for Chemical dipping (See details below). However i had to spend two hours yesterday preparing everything. removing small bolts and bits like the chrome trim on the taillight panels: And removed: Then i collected all t he parts from My garage and my second workshop at home and somehow felt i need to make one of these cool “exploded view” pictures. Always wanted to so this was a great opportunity 🙂 So i collected the parts from my two chassis and some more i bought. therefore a lot of different colours 🙂 What we have is in total 23 pieces: 2x Doors 1x Roof 1x Front center valance 2x Front coner valances 2x Metal Headlight surroundings 1x Hood 1x Trunk 2x Taillight covers 1x Taillight center cover 2x Fenders 2x Access-flaps 2x Toolbox flaps 1x Hood cowl 1x Dashboard cowl 2x Mudflap metal pieces And another pic: Finally loaded and today i brought them to the specal company: Compared to most of the companies they don’t use Acid for dipping but a own mixture of Solvents. Different kinds of alcohol (Rum, Tequila and Whiskey maybe? :P) and they’re quite famous. The advantage is that this solvend is 100% neutralized when cleaned with water at the end. so no corrosive leftovers are there at the end. The friendly staff was quite nice and told me a bit of their process. they are like 4o people and a big part of their business they’re dipping complete cars and a lot of big parts. My car will get a Complete paint- and rust removal, a rust passivating as well as a cleaning and then a be primered with Doltan 2k Washprimer to prepare from new rust while waiting to be worked on / painted. I managed to take a shot from outside where you see a dipped Chassis from a different customer. It’s not cleaned or primered yet. Should be able to pick up my parts within a month. This brings me a big step towareds the completed project, while this is still many years away…
