Chemical Dipping a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera

Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this classic 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera prior to its complete restoration. I’m going to take you through the process we use to completely chemically strip cars down to bare metal. This is a more thorough alternative to sand/media blasting with no chances of metal warping on thin panels. This process shows you exactly what you are working with and gives you a blank canvis to work with!

It is a 3 step process

Step 1) alkaline degreaser and paint remover

Step 2) Food grade Rust removing acid

Step 3) Water based rust inhibitor

The total process takes around 6 weeks because we use environmentally safe chemicals.

It's a great day when I see the dangle in my feed. Trev, you are the BEST! Thank you!

Holy Porsche, Batman ! I hope the owner knew what the paint was hiding. This looks like one Frankenstein's Monster of a car. It'll be nice when it's done though ! Hi from Prague, CZ !

Yikes, looks like it will need a lot of cutting and welding to get it back into shape again. But you did a really great job of cleaning it up.

[Pure-Luck]

Its good to know exactly what they have to work with now, seen a lot worst.

i'm glad you're getting ads, that means more videos!

I used to be the clean up/ tear down/ catalog parts guy at a Porsche specific restoration shop (hated that job, the owner was a really big steaming pile of.. well he wasn’t a very decent person to work for is what I’m saying) and I can tell you that car had been mangled several times, the repair work is decent tho, hopefully this next place gets it dialed in. Excellent video came out clean and shiny if it’s an original green car, it’s pretty rare, I’ve only seen two originals when I was working there in the late 90s

Wonder if any vehicles from the upcoming auction of the Rudi Klein - The Junkyard collection will end up in your shop for stripping?

Thank you for making this excellent video - my UK 1974 911 Carrera Targa 2.7 MFI is scheduled to have a strip down to bare metal next year for a completely new paint job. I will be very interested to see how my car compares in terms of bare metal body condition to the one you have shown us.

It is probably very disheartening for the owner of a vintage automobile to discover just how bad it really is under that layer of glossy paint. A good friend who is no longer with us dipped nearly every restoration project as first order of business. Obviously he knew the value of the cars before beginning to work on them. The higher the potential value of the finished vehicle, the less the cost of dipping was a factor. More than anything, he was like an artist with a preference for clean sheet beginnings. I regret never asking him the question regarding dipping results and the continuation (or discontinuation) of the project.

The Porsche in this video appears to need a lot of work. It leaves me wondering if the value of a 1974 Carrera will accommodate the hours of labor it will take to get the metal in acceptable condition to commence with the remaining time and money needed to finish the job? Not an unusual question I understand. I get the impression that even guys like Jay Leno have to decide to hit the go/no go button. This generation of Porsche is not one I know much about. However if other viewers watching have an idea of what happens next with this car, I'd be curious to know. Thank you.

Great video as always. That shell would have to be placed on a jig platform to get the correct alignment points straight. Otherwise, nothing on the body will fit properly during assembly.

Impressive effort to remove all that paint, undercoating, filler, etc.!

[scottthomas]

Great job. The restorer has his work cut out for him. Still has less rust than an E Type.

[tim_g]

Great car to feature. It must have been hundreds of pounds lighter after you were done!

[soundslikebstome]

Hot alkaline, even a weak solution would be absolutely horrible. A 50/50 lye solution on your skin is something you won't soon forget. Even just a drop or two. Safety first!

Awesome video. I love that poison green colour, I assume it's the original colour.
I hope they restore it in that same colour, I can't imagine they'd choose a different colour.
Especially that dull grey 😁. At some point in time bright colours for sure went out of fashion, luckily bright strong colours are nowadays (since 2 decades or so) associated again with fast, sportive cars (although lots of Porsches are still bought in grey and black, the faster models (like gt3 etc) are often brightly colourd, same goes for Lamborghini's, Lotussen, Mclarens etc.)
Having a vintage Porsche in such a bright original colour is probably a dream for many car enthousiasts (of course the paint won't be original, but having a completely restored one is nice too 😉).

I think you will find that the yellow is a sort of spray putty used in the past. Here in Oz in the 70s it was called Golden Glaze.

Always enjoy your videos Trevor. I hope the owner got this car for a great price, they're going to need deep pockets to fix it.

[nevillegoddard]

Great job dude! Get some kinda coating on it asap !

seeing snow there is all ways great in the mountains.

A little metal work put on the correct quarter panels and a great paint job it's going to be a beautiful car. Of I got this car back like this I would be excited because I know what it could be a lot of potential. If course if the owner has already paid a lot of money then I could see this might not be the out come he/she was hoping for. I always Google the year and model of the cars on here just to get a picture of what the car should look like.
