Does anyone remember or even have the pictures of one of the member's cars that was acid dipped? I have searched this and the restoration board to no avail.

 

there are quite a few projects that have been acid dipped over on hotrodders.com

very nice message board for older musclecars and such

 

Yea, but this was a picture of a thirdgen. It's just not the same.

 

lol

i thought you just wanted to find out about acid dipping in general

sorry bout that

i tried searching for a couple minutes but couldn't find anything either... I suck at using the search engine I think.

I can't ever find anything.

 

Try searching for the member... trigger GTA

 

deadbird rocks!

I knew his name had a GTA in it but couldn't remember anything else.

 

I'd love to have my car acid dipped when i finally get the money together to restore it. Only problem is I'm afraid that all that would come back up out of the acid is the hooks that lowered the car in !!!!
Anyone ever hear of horror stories like that?

 

yep thats my car

few extra pics. they are big

I thought about getting mine acid dipped but i heard of them denting up the bodys and what not so im just sandblasting the whole thing. We get doors,fenders,hoods,trucks and all that dipped all the time.

 

Trigger,
In the pics of your car, I noticed the last one the car is outside and there is snow on the ground. Is your car already in primer at that point?? If so, how soon after having the car dipped did you have it sprayed?

 

How much was the whole acid dipping process and how long did it take?

 

I wouldnt wait no more then a week before i primered it.

 

they coat the car in a clear water based film. i had the car primed the day after i picked it up. they told me a week max but i could already see rust starting too form in some places. if it was kept in a dry work area then you could go for alot longer

total cost for dipping was 750us and took a week from the time i dropped it off to picking it up. i am not sure how much of that time it was sitting there waiting.

 

Thanks for the info... how did you get your car to/from the acid dipper... Did they have some sort of pickup/dropoff service, and if so was that included in the $750 price tag

 

they had no drop off or pick up. so i used my truck and a friends trailer.
