grannyknot Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share #293 Posted February 9, 2017 I had to look that one up Site, Took the car down for dipping today, they said it will take a week to go through all the steps so I get it back next thursday morning. Of course, NO photography of any kind allowed on the premise, but I only found that out after I had taken a few pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted February 10, 2017 Share #294 Posted February 10, 2017 Camel toe, moose knuckle, hog's hoof, front wedgie, there all the same. I prefer hot dog bun myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted February 10, 2017 Share #295 Posted February 10, 2017 Can't wait to see what it looks like after the dip! Hopefully there's metal under that paint and undercoating. The new owner of my old 260 has claimed that the only thing holding the car together was the tar undercoating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGRIII Posted February 10, 2017 Share #296 Posted February 10, 2017 Claimed? I still can't believe you managed to Fred Flintstone that Z over to my house! That's right everybody, Captain Obvious's side kick has finally managed to get his password situation resolved! I will wizz myself laughing if that acid works on paint but not magic marker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think of that. Yeah, let's hope Sharpie isn't an etch resist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namerow Posted February 11, 2017 Share #300 Posted February 11, 2017 Chris (and everyone else following this thread) will probably enjoy viewing the before/after shots featured under the 'Projects' tab on this dip shop's website: www.metaldipping.com Their projects include a 1976 Z, along with an Austin-Healey and a lot of American iron (easy to see now why people say that Healeys drive like a truck!). This looks to me like it may be a caustic (lye) dip tank rather than acid... but I didn't investigate very hard and I could be wrong. For their Z project, it's interesting to seethat the dip process apparently didn't strip the asphalt sound-deadening pad off the floors. Another observation is that the process may require re-tuning your eyes to be able to spot the rusted areas after the car has been treated. What was easy to see c/o visible red oxide is no longer quite so obvious. I like this shop's business strategy for offering an epoxy primer service to its customers. Probably a great investment and convenience for most of their customers (unless the shop's prices are out of line). Looking forward to seeing the 'during' and 'after' photos for Chris's Z.
