Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
Wow! What a timesaver. I think of Florida as humid and rather salty around it's coastline. Do you have plans for some kind of primer to hold off the flash rusting? Please keep us posted as you go through the restoration. We love a good build thread!

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
Y’all going to acid wash it or etch prime . Looks really nice with no major uglies. Taking our 32 Crapiolet in on Wednesday to get cleaned up , and yes it has some very very juvenile uglies, everywhere.

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
After the final dip a special seal coating is sprayed on good for 30 days. Once at the shop it was lightly sanded before spraying the DP 90. DP90 DP 40 basically the same product different colors, is readily available here in Florida.

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
Pay special attention to where sheet metal is folded around for attachment like where a door skin attaches to the inner frame. I had a 34 sedan delivery Redi-stripped many years ago and after final paint, in places like described, the paint came off months later. There is no way to get the chemicals out of those spaces. Wonderful process for removing rust though.
The body looks REALLY straight if both sides look the same, nice. |

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
This is not the same process that Redistrip used. I had problems with Redistrip when they were in Tampa. I have had no problems with any of the cars he has done for me.

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
Restoring something to its former glory is an odyssey of nostalgia, where the value lies not in the currency it garners, but the sentimental journey of breathing life into cherished history.

That was eloquently said. Sums up how I feel about a true restoration.

Re: Going for a dip 1942 Ford Coupe
1970 I used a Red Devil on a '30 A coupe; the original dark blue paint looked as if it was faded dull-black. Chipped off like pieces of eggshell, a gleaming body underneath. (obviously Ford didn't primer this one. That Ford paint was cooked to the max.
