F. Then off to the acid bath, then came neutralizing the acid with a high pressure solution and then a water based rust inhibitor. Its amazing how clean it got, all paint and rust removed nothing warped or etched as with sandblasting. Also we just dropped it off there yesterday at 3pm and picked it up at 2:30pm today. The cab had No rust in the cab corners and only surface rust on the floor pan, I can't believe how well this worked. Just thought I'd share. I'll see if I can find the name of the company and post here. Thanks Sandusky

sandusky wrote:Yeah! $500! but considering the condition of the cab it probably worked out to about the same to have a body man sand it for days with a DA. and this got everything and it's as smooth as a Babys butt. It did burn out the old caulk and even melted the lead solder in the seams. The cab has never been repainted and was my Sons Great Great Grandfathers he bought it new in "55". The kid is still looking for a V.G. grille and bumpers(I have no idea what they hit but it destroyed the grille and the front bumper and did'nt do the front fenders any favors either)

I am always so disappointed when I hear of someone going with sand blasting even after they have been told of the problems that go with that process. Good On You Guys.
BTW. Because it is cost effective and another really good method. We will be having my son's L110 and my Orrville Crewcab IH cleaned with walnut shell blast at a place called AIR STRIP in Richmond BC. They did such a perfect job on our 1940 Ford. The Ford looked like new metal when it was done. The Ford is 74 years old and no rust.
