No, you must dip then weld....not before

This shell will be extrememly rusty soon... i would primer it asap !

narcotic · 10-11-2007, 16:55

dont put any badges on the car too and leave the aston martin logos on the calipers, when stopped

officer 'what car is this then'
steve-o 'its an aston martin s145 sport mate, its proper bo'

no more tickets

coz that aint my car :P

superclarkey · 10-11-2007, 16:57

Also Stevo, make sure to check the thinkness of the metal around them turret tops

as they may have been thinned out too much lol. which could be bad

narcotic · 10-11-2007, 17:01

why dip then weld?

superclarkey · 10-11-2007, 17:08

Glad you asked

When you seam weld a car... say like i did to mine, you have to burn out the seam sealant that is between the two panels, as its "metal - seam sealant - metal" layer by layer if that makes sense, if you weld it with the sealant in there, it makes a dirty weld and is not that strong and also there is a gap between the panel.

as you can see in Steve's picture, now its dipped there is gaps between all the panels. he will have to dolly them (hammer) together so they are touching and then weld them, this will make a strong and clean weld.

people that don't burn out the seam sealant first... well, shouldn't be doing it.

if he seamed it first... when it was dipped and got it back ,he would have gaps every were in the shell.. and it wouldn't be so strong and water would rust the frick out of it

I used to do rally prep when i was young, i know this for sure

narcotic · 10-11-2007, 17:15

ok so why not dip then weld, cage, tub, chop and prep then dip again

superclarkey · 10-11-2007, 17:18

because everytime you dip it it removes thickness from the shell.. i bet if he weighed it before and after it would now be lighter

you would be crazy to dip it twice ! bet nothing would come back lol.

To do it properly, you have the car Dipped, then once done sent back for primer and proxy sealent coat.

Clarkey.

MR-steveo · 10-11-2007, 17:27

lol you guys.... the dip dosnt remove any metal this i a diffent process which uses cold prosess so takes longer and is not as harsh they have had cars that have been in the dip 4 or 5 times

superclarkey · 10-11-2007, 17:28

I thought you said it was the same process as prodrive use, they acid dip there cars and it removes metal, i know that for sure as i've been there and spoke to them lol

Chris_200SX · 10-11-2007, 17:30
