Chris your metal working skills are truly impressive. Great thread.
With the dipping paint stripping process is there any scope for future corrosion issues?Last edited by Terminator; 13-01-15, 04:53 PM.Paul Wischer

Paul, it is an alkaline bath, which the car body sits in for 5-8 days which removes paint, body filler, tar etc. it is then neutralised and pressure cleaned. the process removes no steel at all. Even corroded sections remain completely as they were, underneath the previous surface coatings.
I will put up a picture later that shows the factory printed stamping of date and batch codes for the steel floor pan.
I think the main issue is to make sure all the hard to access cavities end up with some sort of coating for on going corrosion protection.
I think that media blasting has a place, but on precious old cars like these I use a portable unit, only to do tricky areas.
