Steve, It was stripped at American Metal Cleaning in Toledo, Ohio. The e-coating was done at EA Tech in Elkhart, Indiana. AMC had a 68 GT500KR convert. coming in after we left that was submerged in salt water, typically the kiss of death, thanks to Hurricane Sandy. I would have liked to see the before and after of that one. They seemed to think they will save it. I hope so. Pretty rare car.

WOW I was just there at AMC to drop off a cylinder block on thursday, Small World. I saw them working on a fastback Mustang in there, still black in color. There was another car there already stripped but it wasn't a conv.
I am waiting for a call to go pick up my block so I will have to take a closer look at the cars there.
The car looked like it turned out Nice, Congrat's and Great job on all the major work you have done so far.

Holgar, You have had other cars stripped this way? How do you get all the stripper out of the seams? I know a guy that thought he was doing it right and the chemical kept eating. I hope that is not the case here.

David, I thought she said the 500KR was a convert but might have heard wrong. The fastback in there might be it.
Tom, The process they use is not like an acidic base that some places use. It is neutralized quite easily. It is mundane enough that it takes a lot of seperate dunkings to get all the crud off. Also The ecoaters put it through 11 differenet rinse and conditioner tanks before the primer goes on. I am confident we are OK.

Amazing work so far, great to follow. Have a question about the stripping and dipping. Is there anything on the car after it's stripped to prevent rust or does it have to go immediately to the dipper? I'm just thinking if some unexpected rot is revealed after the paint is off could it be fixed before the shell starts to rust and needs to be redipped.

Tim, The strippers put a water soluable coating on it after the last process. This has about a 30 day life. Plenty of time if stripping should uncover some missed issues. If it should lightly flash rust the e coaters process will remove minor surface rust.

Thanks for the info, good to know. I've got a spot on my car that may or may not turn out to be a problem when it's stripped. Keep up the good work!

No. We got there at 5 in the morning. We had a jig made up for it and and to have it all ready to go. They picked up with overhead crane and off it went. They rpicing is done by what footage the load is. The tanks are 50' long and our set up was 24'. Must be 1500 per load.
