1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Building a paint dip box from the end of a TV shipping box. Piece of pipe to take up space so I can use less paint to get some dipping depth.
6 mil vapour barrier cut and taped to make a tank. Saw horse postion and test run.
Blasting booth isn't long enough, not a problem! Stuff them out the exhaust hole.
One end and about 2/3rds of the bars blasted clean.
Turned around to do the rest.
Ready to make a mess! Torsion bars are Gloss Black.
Both dipped and draining. They got dipped a second time because I hit a saw horse and they both landed right back in the dip tank!
I knocked the long drips off a few times after this photo, while the paint was setting up, and ended up with just some nice heavy bumps similar to factory dipped bars.
Lookin spiffy and the way they were done for production, with nice heavy drip blobs. Dip tank drained back into the gallon can.
Lower control arms up next. They're a PITA to blast and take about 75 minutes each.
