- In todays video I am dipping a 1955 Chevy Bel Air. We are getting this car down to bare metal prior to our customer completely restoring it.
Step 1: alkaline paint removal dip
Step 2: Rust removing acid dip.
Step 3: apply a temporary rust inhibitor
The dipping was done at 3schemicalsllc.com contact them for any quotes or scheduling

Amazing to see the bare-metal body that last saw the light of day in the body shop where it was fabricated nearly 69 years ago. Theoretically, it could have been built in the fall of '54. Well done, men.
Excellent theory and most probability
You're right in the money....
Beautiful quote....Last time that metal has seen the LIGHT OF DAY"
69 years ago....
My Uncle and brother worked running presses in sheet metal at GM from the 40’s on. Brother in 60s-70s. They were partially deaf from the noise. It was loud even with earplugs.

I love the fact that you don’t mess around with employees if they don’t work and they go unfortunately they got caught on camera still dispose of the bones somewhere else lol that’s so funny
Hahahahhahahah
@@minute_of_dangle здравствуйте что это за жидкость и где можно купить сколько стоит спасибо 👍
Was that Jimmy Hoffa inside?
Roger Penske dipped the 1969 Camaro that Mark Donahue campaigned in Trans-Am. Penske was a master at finding loopholes in the rules and kept the curious away from touching the car and denting the lightweight & fragile body.
Although we're as happy as you are to see the "lucky ones" that are in great shape, I think we would like to see the worst cases as well.
Thanks for doing what you do!
Who was that unfortunate person who was in the back seat?.
I grew up in that car, Dad had a green one with a cream roof. Mom wanted a 2 tone look. Pops had it painted by a local body shop.
Joker:I can't wait to go swimming!
Joker:wait a minute...
Joker:THIS IS NOT WATER! SHIT!
*Joker:* NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN!!
How do you keep it from rusting until you’re ready to paint?
I like when the bondo patches fall off
Isso é uma terapia! Eu adoro esse tipo de trabalho. parabéns
Hi, thank you for those videos, it's a pleasure to watch every one of them, and discover the reality behind the paint.
It would be nice though to have just a bit more information:
- How many dips per step, and how long each dip?
- Is there a jet wash after each dip?
- What kind of solution and concentration are you using for each step?
Thank you and keep up the good work!
and COST to custumer,,,,,,,
Never seen one in such great shape. Was not expecting what I just seen.
😳
Now that's a nice car.luv to see it finished 👍✌️
Thanks for sharing your work. I enjoy the process.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support
@@minute_of_dangle I like to know where you're business is , I have a 73 charger I'd like to get dipped. Could you share your business info with me on pricing also. Thanks
@@johnrossi2824 I just discovered this YT chan about an hr ago, first watching the latest upload vid & backpedaling thru older uploads, stoping to watch this one, as I’ve got a ‘55 Buick Super already taken apart & need this same process done on it now. Was wondering, after reading your comment, if you ever got a response &/or, figured out the rough cost for having this done? If better or worse than media blasting &, where this shop is??? I wonder also if this procedure includes any of the other body parts in the price?
@@seanbatiz6620 no he never said anything about his location or price to do it. Media blasting is ok but dipping is much better as far as I'm concerned.
He did give me a like to my reply and said thanks for supporting his Chanel. Can't tell you anything more . He should I bet he's probably got more cars than he can handle.
@@johnrossi2824 Thanks
How much does it cost for the average acid dip to bare metal?
Ótimo trabalho parabéns 👏👏
The joker 😂 80s batman scene
Man this is the stuff I've! As he said,I can only imagine the end result. Thanks for the share👍👍✌️
I don't know why but it's actually satisfying to watch this.
This is what I call oddly satisfying 😊
No one gonna talk about that there was a literal action figure on it
Every time one comes up I fall in love!
God bless you for helping save this beautiful American master piece
Would be nice if there were one more tank that did all the body work, blocking and painting to lol.
Awesome prep work! Do you have anymore videos of the car after paint? Thanks, John
Ficou magnífico.
That 55 Bell Air 2 door 265 engine powered will once again retain its
Beauty of ( 1955 ) Bellaire Classic"
Awesome 👍
Love it!
How about hot dip galvanizing just enough to treat rockers, inner rockers, and floor pan?
Perfect job mr!! Good! Clean job! 👌👍
You killed the little man on the hood... lol..
So oddly satisfying. I rebuilt a 1965 VW Type III Notch and had it blasted to bare metal. This seems so much more thorough, although I’d worry about all the nooks, cranny’s and between two panels rusting over time.
The neutralizer fluid that the frame gets dipped in should inhibit that, hopefully lol.
I would oil spray the nooks and crannys just like how we do up here in the north for winter driving.
After painting I mean
Awesome job!
New subscriber here. I love seeing these classics begin their trip back from the dead. Fascinating. 👍
The owner is off to a good start. I wish mine was that solid.
Well this one way to find 8 decades of bondo everywhere! 😂😂
That body shell of that '55 Chevy alone is worth about 10 grand!!
AwesomeKool process like ASMR👍🏾🤠☮
Glad you liked it!!
So what is the cost difference between the dipping process and sand blasting? And which one is more beneficial on getting a good work surface?
I believe the acid dip takes minute layers of metal off as well as paint ! It lightens the metal, back in the day they dipped dragsters to lighten and go faster!
In the '80's, I was co-owner of a sandblasting biz. It took 5-6 hours to blast a body, correctly. You have to keep the pressure at a minimum & not directly blast at 90⁰ to prevent panel warpage.
This means going slowly. Later, newer types of blasting media helped prevent warpage, though I was out of the biz by then.
We always tried to collect small blasting jobs, & save them to do as the same time as bodies or frames. By piling the smalls on the frames/bodies, the overspray did a lot of the work, reducing material & time.
We charged $150/ hr in the early '80's for blasting. Gas/diesel was between $1-$2 a gallon & media was ~$3.00 / 50#'s.
Hope that helps. If you have a body blasted, shop on experience & attention to detail. NOT on price.
Sand blasting leaves the potential for panel warpage and wont be able to get to every little area. With acid dipping there's the potential for thinning metal and some believe the acid is never truly gone. both have their pros and cons.
@@isaakwelch3451 warpage from sandblasting is not inherently caused by sandblasting, but by inexperienced or inept blasters.
I have personally, and have had employees blast dozens of bodies, many dozens of body parts & other items of various metals as thin, or thinner than auto body parts & never caused warpage.
I will agree there are some places on a body where blasting cannot reach, but I found it to be an exception rather than a rule.
The few areas we found were mitigated through spot usage of rust desolving chems.
Liquid RustMort was our fav, as it leaves an anti-rust film/covering behind.
We used to put RustMort in a big SS container, dump a pile of rusty fasteners we would get free from our buddies at the wrecking yard, then run 12v DC thru them for 24-36 hours, (de-greased them first).
They came out like new, but were a light grey color. The damn things wouldn't rust, if you tried, unless you cut or ground the surface.
@@georgedennison3338 I'm merely pointing out potential downsides. Not every shop is gonna do a great job sandblasting and some will mess up your panels. Metal dipping isn't a perfect process either, it's just my personal preference because I think it does a better job and I'm more willing to deal with its downsides. Many will disagree and that's fine
Отлично! У вас много работы!
That's soo cool can't wait to see the whole car together
That is so cool, I suppose biggest fear would be when you go to lift body out and half of its gone! I knew a guy who sent his lettering badges to get re chromed, they dipped them in acid to clean them but when they lifted them out there was letters missing they drained tank but yeah nothing acid ate them away???
I killed a friend's aluminum intake manifold dipping it in carb cleaner. I had done the same thing many, many times before w/ no damage.
When I pulled his rare, OEM aluminum Z28 manifold out, imagine my embarrassment & surprise when it was Swiss-cheesed.
The only thing we could figure out was a combination of fuel caused 'coking', (the black crap from rich combustion of gasoline), had damaged the aluminum. It was only in the areas where the manifold was coked badly that the aluminum dissolved.
Boy, was that an expensive favor for a friend; not only did I have to buy him a new manifold, but it also ruined my dip tank solution.
@@georgedennison3338 oh crap, I have seen people use oven cleaner on intake manifold, they spray it on let it sit then get the pressure washer, it makes a mess but end result is very good, never tried it myself
love it
I love the idea ❤
This video is satisfying 👌
Not a Chevy guy per say, but excellent example of a good candidate for this project. Very interesting.
Inner rockers and other boxed sections need to be rustproofed after stripping. What was the plan for that?
So satisfying.
Thank you!
Poor joker 😭😭😭😭so batman didn't kill him 😆😆😆
impressive---shows u what was and what u have now
Oh no! That Joker doll got reduced to a skeleton... and grew into a full sized man!
Joker: Why so skeletal?
The skeleton was a nice touch!
Chem dip and power wash. So very nice afterwards.
I guess the joker didn't survive this chemical vat...
Be great to clean politicians with this procedure
So you dipped once power wash then dip again and see power wash cool l like that
👍
Thanks for the smile😀
Bet that is so satisfying as a job to do before and after
What is the chemical to keep it from flash rusting
You can do weapons also like water marble nails. Or shoes. It's neat. I've done it. And Crackle nails. Chameleon changing colors on vehicles dip. It's awesome 😎👍
I know nothing about about running a business, but I’m guessing there must be all kinds of hassles of operating a chemical operation in addition to the regular headaches of running a business. But what do I know? (Shrugging)
But I do find your videos FASCINATING!
Fortunately I don’t deal with that aspect. We have to have all of our waste contained. We have a pit under the washbay that’s separate from our sewer drainage. The runoff is collected there. We then pump it out into evaporation tanks that have heat exchangers to evaporate all the water out of it. What’s left is a neutral sludge. We then pay a company who specializes in chemical waste disposal to dispose of it properly for us. We have to get soil and water tests around our shop every so often too.
@@minute_of_dangle Thanks for the explanation. I guess every business and every process has it’s own unique methods. Thanks for taking the to time reply. I nerd-out on this stuff.
Love the skeleton in the back seat. Lol
Body in damn good shape
01:02 Headphone users have been warned. 😂
EDIT: Not loud. It just scared me going from the sudden relaxing sound of a bubbling caustic solution to a power washer. 😅
Que hermoso auto es el bel air 55
Watching these videos makes me want to do this to my project car that I'm looking for now. Lol if I had the space I would even just invest in the Vats and all and just dip it myself. Then just hire someone to run the business from there on out. I could watch the videos all day long 😆
If you could turn your phone sideways to get 16:9 video rather than portrait, that would be awesome!
This is when you know you’re dumping over 100K in a car
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Interessante ! 😊😊🇧🇷🇧🇷
considering all the bondo that came off..some body gonna have a time straighten that body for paint
That HAD to be a desert car. Wow! What a total lack of rusty cancer!
Hi. What solution do you use to remove paint? ? ? Very cool video, like it)
"Beware the man with a pig farm"... And the man with a chemical dip business.
And thats how he got the name, Bumble Bee
Where are you located? thanks Scott
Yall got the Joker reference, right?
I was curious how much does it cost? I will be doing a Ranchero soon. Nice work, ty for sharing.
I wished you guys were on the west coast! With five '55 Chevys, I could use a good company like yours! The stripper nearby that I had used before has gone out of business.
I enjoy your videos. I don't know if you check or see the comments an these older clips but, it would be nice if your videos were in landscape mode instead of portrait.
All my new videos are in landscape now. Check them out! Thanks! Im glad you enjoy them
Doesn't the bare metal oxidize after spraying it down with water?
Отличная джакузи
OMG dad said he was going to the store for a pack of Luckys! 3:25 . He used to sleep it off in the back seat rather than face a frying pan while on a bender. So that's where he's been all this time.
I think the old owner was still in the back 💀
I seen you found Hoffa there, better keep that secret ha
I just gotta ask. Was that Jimmy Hoffa in the back seat?
Is the temp rust inhibitor used on every car? Is that what looks like galvanized metal? Is there another coating that's more durable?
I am confused. I didn't think the old cars like this had fuel doors. Thought they all filled from behind the license plate.
What's cost to have this done
I would like to see it finished also
Hey, I love your vids but would you hold the phone sideways when videoing? It will make your content much better.
Dream baby dream
Like you say a good shell hard to believe it's ag, has been kept away from the elements for most of its life rear valance has been exposed maybe the garage door was always kept open slightly..
I think y'all did a great job but nobody blasted under the dash or packing shelf or rear windows inside the window pockets and do you blast the underside of the body also after dipping
Reminds me of the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
how do you stop the metal from rusting after the final pressure washing?
What do you charge for a back hair removal dip?
😂 I’d suggest buying a roll of duct tape and having someone do the application and removal for you. Did you see 40 year old virgin? Hot wax was used on him. Step up your game. 🤣
How will primer ever get in golds or like roof pillar or quartepanel? Just wondering
My cousin and I just looked at one of theses cars this morning unfortunately it was too far past, it was complete but if we had it dipped it probably would liquify
