Classic Car Restoration-How To Prep Your Rusted Surface Metal. Part 1

[mrbimer69]

just bought my first classic car today, 1965 impala 2 door... thanks for the lessions.

you are amazing :) keep up the good work !

What needs to be done before this step as far as prepping goes? Does the old

Paint/primer need to be taken off? I have an old wagon I just bought that has moderate surface rust on hood and roof but paint is good in some spots and not so good on others. I'm wanting to repaint the whole car but want to address the rust first. Also do you use the same wire disc on a flat surface?

@Forgottenophelia Strip your vehicle to bare metal with aircraft stripper or you can have it soda blasted, then move on to this step. Pete

Texas. Do you listen to Alex Jones? He got a radio station Infowars. Its now the biggest radio station in the world, because of the listenership over the internet.

I never would have thought to reverse the drill, got a lot of surface rust around here. thanks for the tip.

awesome tip about reversing the wheel direction

Nice video Pete! I've watched just about all your videos prior to this one. You must not be too busy there or happy with the new employee; this is the first video that no profanity was used! lol

i use a knotted wire wheel on a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder, you need a face sheild as well as full goggles for that s.o.b, them wires fly off are a brisk rate, they stick into your skin good, very good for getting heavy pitted rust form suspension parts

newbie tip: always pay attention to which way your wheel is turning and try not to gring towards an open lip, always going off it or it will kick back, if its fast enough it will hit you in the face, i had that happen when i wasn't paying att.

[chevyracing1211]

vinegar and water ?

Would you use this same procedure on a flat surface roof ??

[diyautoschool]

@chevyracing1211 Yes, any metal surface that has surace rust or needs throughly cleaned. Pete

[gratefuldead42022]

The reversing the drill tip is a good one.

[1968DodgePolara]

@gratefuldead42022 Yes it is a good tip. Its just like what you do with block sanding you going back and forth but with a drill one way for a short then the otherway.

[diyautoschool]

@gratefuldead42022 And thats a tip that only My Friend Pete will share with you. Pete

[ncfatcyclist]

Pete- I would guess you'd use the vinegar/water, is this another situation??

Great videos!

[diyautoschool]

@ncfatcyclist Yes, this is a tech video on using vinegar/water.. I see you pay attention and watch my videos.. Thanks for the comments and support. Pete

Cool, i hope this will help with my chopper when it gets ready for paint. Nice job on the fender extension.

[diyautoschool]

@AXE2501 This video set will help you with any surface rust, or metal prep before painting... Thanks Pete
