- I am in the process of caustic dipping and acid dipping my 66 MK1A. The shop needs to know if the ID plate and/or rivots holding it to the car are aluminum or other soft metal. We are concerned the r

- Im told it eats both ALL GONE. Thats why many TACed Tigers have non original rivets. Ive heard some people have orignal replacements but I have no idea if thats true. If the car is orginally a Tiger

- My understanding is that most of the dip processes are caustic. And, yes, that would eat your rivets and plate. That said there has been a lot of talk regarding the original rivets on Tigers. I woul

- I'm fixing to have my Tiger media blasted -- the guy who's ramrodding the resto (former owner of two Tigers) suggested that we keep the original paint (BRG) on that part of the car where the prized r

- I would agree with Cullen that it is better to use media blasting rather than dipping, so long as you don't have a lot of rust to contend with in the structure of the car. The tags are aluminum and p

- Regardless as to my personal feelings concerning rivets, which have been Tiger listed to death many times, I went with media blasting. I couldn't find a chemical stripping facility that I was confide
