Chassis Rust Removal with Rust 911
We're back folks! Wray spoke a while back about his idea for removing rust on a chassis of his 52 Cadillac. Him and Esteban built a tapered platform out of MDF and 2x4's, put a tarp on top of it and a bucket at the base containing Rust 911 solution and 10 gallons of water. We enclose the chassis with the tarp bungee cords and a sump pump in the bucket with a hose and a sprinkler head underneath the car to spray the Rust 911 solution on everything it can reach. This is the progress that has been made in 4 days.

hi it's racheleen
0:10
the rumors of my death have been greatly
0:12
exaggerated we're working on the
0:15
cadillac 52 cadillac mark's going to
0:17
show you some pictures of this frame
0:20
the chassis on this which had over 50
0:23
years of
0:24
heavy humidity rust we're going to show
0:26
you a product which i've mentioned many
0:28
times in my videos rus911
0:31
you buy it out of north carolina you can
0:33
also buy it in my amazon store we're
0:36
going to show you is the setup we did
0:38
for the cadillac
0:40
we got a lift here we made basically
0:43
like a
0:45
uh enclosure underneath here that we can
0:47
confine all the the fluid we're pumping
0:50
it inside we'll show you all that
0:53
and there's not much weight involved at
0:55
all
0:56
all we needed was some quarter inch uh
1:00
masonite and some two by fours and a
1:03
quick little stand for we got a little
1:05
taper to it so it drains down and if
1:08
mark can bring the camera over here
1:10
you'll see
1:12
there's the draining
1:14
we bought a little pump that's a little
1:16
circulation pump home depot has them
1:19
we have some bungee cords and some
1:21
clamps and stuff holding
1:23
the plastic up we had a few little
1:25
accidents at the beginning
1:27
i didn't have it bundled up good enough
1:29
and it sent the fluids up the front
1:32
you put one quart into five gallons of
1:35
water
1:36
and we put it in here so i put
1:39
two quarts of the solution in this
1:42
bucket here and then 10 gallons of water
1:44
that's enough
1:46
and you can get about 24 hours out of it
1:48
turns really muddy and brown from all
1:51
the rust that's coming off and also
1:53
it'll turn black when it turns black
1:55
it's basically lost its power to do the
1:57
job it greatly reduces its strength the
2:00
advantage of being able to de-rust the
2:03
entire chassis
2:05
without taking it all apart it's just
2:07
enormous not only does it
2:09
you know it does the rear end and the
2:11
drive shaft and all the frame members
2:14
and it goes inside everything
2:17
and it's
2:18
not an asset or anything it's
2:20
environmental friendly i get it on my
2:22
skin all the time it doesn't cause a
2:24
problem or anything remember it's rust
2:26
911
2:27
and mark will put up the contact
2:30
information so you can get a hold of
2:31
them
2:32
and i highly highly recommend it so
2:36
mark has a series of photos we'll be
2:39
putting in his video
2:41
showing the progress of what it was
2:43
before
2:44
and it looked really horrible you just
2:45
can imagine how many hours it would take
2:48
to uh have to heat up all the bolts and
2:51
turn them out and dismantle this entire
2:55
chassis
2:56
take the rear end out and all this stuff
2:58
and and and then separate the body from
3:01
the the frame
3:02
and have it all sandblasted everything
3:04
that's typically what everybody does
3:07
we're
3:08
rush removing all the floorboards we're
3:10
rush removing every aspect of the frame
3:13
including inside
3:15
the tubes of the frame
3:18
we're rush removing all the components
3:20
and every day a little bit more of the
3:25
the original metal the gray look steel
3:28
is is appearing plus it keeps like a
3:30
whole fog inside there which loosens the
3:33
rust quite a bit
3:34
if you brush it a little bit with just a
3:36
um a plastic
3:39
like a
3:40
scrub brush
3:41
that will loosen it up a little faster
3:43
too we've done a little bit of that but
3:45
not much well first we probably show you
3:47
exactly what it looks like inside there
3:49
and you can see
3:51
it's pretty wet and violent in there
3:53
i believe it's going to be about
3:56
at least a month to totally de-rust this
3:59
we're going to do it in phases we're
4:00
going to do the back section of the bar
4:02
of the chassis and then the middle
4:05
section of the chassis and then the
4:06
front section now the front section has
4:08
got a lot of grease leakage
4:10
and front-end grease and motor grease
4:13
and that protected a lot of the front
4:15
end components it's not as rusted as bad
4:17
in the back in the front another little
4:20
thing that
4:21
you might want to know about is these
4:23
harbor freight lights i think they're 39
4:25
bucks they're usb chargeable
4:28
with lithium ion batteries i can't say
4:30
enough about these things they got
4:32
really good magnets
4:34
and
4:36
this is like the ultimate drop light
4:39
so there you have it
4:40
uh the rear end
4:44
this side has been revealing a lot it's
4:46
it's actually a lot cleaner than that if
4:48
you scrub that that'll be perfectly bare
4:50
metal there
4:52
maybe a few little pits
4:54
so the whole rear end is done the
4:56
backing plates um they cleaned up
4:58
they've been getting uh
5:00
a side splash
5:02
and uh maybe we'll bring the
5:05
lights forward a little bit and you'll
5:06
see the uh x frame
5:09
of the
5:10
or the x-member of the frame
5:13
you can see how heavy that
5:15
is it's a
5:17
convertible they had a really
5:19
strength in it with x-member and it's 5
5:22
8 of an inch thick of steel there
5:25
connecting the two rails
5:27
but in another week this should be just
5:29
about all gone
5:31
it's just absolutely amazing stuff you
5:33
can imagine
5:35
how much time you save by getting all
5:39
this rust out of the way and it makes it
5:41
so much easier to dismantle it's like
5:43
buying a uh
5:44
a rust free arizona or a california car
5:47
once it's done
5:49
and i think you could do this to just
5:51
about any car and you don't need a lift
5:53
i think you could do it on the ground
5:56
maybe with jack stands or something that
5:58
you'd have to rig up some kind of deal
6:00
where you can circulate it
6:02
and we're using 10 gallons that's been
6:04
adequate
6:05
at a time
6:06
getting a day out of each 10 gallon
6:09
installment
6:10
that's only two quarts of material
6:13
so
6:15
you can see that's
6:17
just working wonders this is where the
6:19
fuel tank was here
6:21
so that's like
6:22
like factory metal there now
6:25
there's a little bit of original paint
6:27
still there that was protected by that
6:29
fuel tank
6:31
but
6:32
it's kind of weird i mean there's spots
6:34
that you wouldn't think that it cleaned
6:36
up but they they did clean up
6:39
even the springs um these springs were
6:42
heavily heavily rusted and now you can
6:44
see there's uh
6:46
there's a material in between asphalt
6:49
material or something in between the
6:51
leaves to keep them from squeaking was a
6:53
typical practice back then
6:56
and a rubber or something here and it's
6:59
the edges of the springs which were
7:01
super rusted and now
7:02
pretty much all de-rusted and those
7:04
backing plates have a little bit of
7:06
paint on them and a little bit of grease
7:08
so that's another thing that we'll do
7:10
this weekend is scrape a little bit of
7:12
the grease
7:13
but we're just uh so pleased with the
7:16
results here
7:17
it's going to make this job so much
7:19
easier having this
7:21
50 years of rust just dissolved away
7:24
and yeah it sounds like a lot of time
7:26
six six weeks maybe or maybe four weeks
7:29
but
7:30
the time that it's going to save
7:33
is just amazing and expense is not that
7:35
expensive you might have noticed i had a
7:38
a different shirt than my black t-shirt
7:41
my friend bart was a student lives in
7:43
argonne him and two of his buddies got
7:46
on their hollies and they drove around
7:47
the whole country making a big loop they
7:49
went 11 000 miles
7:52
and they stopped in and bot brought me
7:54
their shirt
7:55
because he's sick of looking at my black
7:57
t-shirts so
7:58
you thank bot for
8:00

8:03
