I have finally done it, I'm going to restore the spitfire
from the ground up. The body is almost stripped to a bare
shell and close to removing the body from the chassis.
Now, is there anything I should be wary of when I remove
body from chassis?
When the time comes to strip the paint off I had hot
tanking in mind. But I was talking to a guy at a body
shop about the idea and he told me that yes you will
get the best results from that method with one drawback.
He said chemicals get into all the nooks and crannys e.g.
seams, folds, sills and soforth. When time comes to rustproof,
the rustproofing is unable to get into thoses places and
will eventually rust.
Is this the case or is he just a bit behind the times as
regards to how well they clean body parts after being dipped.
Merry Christmas
Dom
