Listers;
I originally sent out a query regarding the restoration of a GT6+ frame but
forgot to list the topic. Although I received a few replies I am still
pondering the subject. Faced with a severe case of shipwrights I am ready to
remove the body and do this thing right. My question is: How do you accomplish
a restoration of the chassis tube interiors? I have a chassis that is in
excellent condition thanks to overzealous undercoating with the variety that
hardens with age and cracks. It was sprayed on the chassis and into the
interior. Is it possible to remove this material with some kind of dipping and
boiling treatment (much like boiling out an engine block). Although it is hard
to tell without cutting the chassis in half I have to assume that the material
is dry and cracking and allowing moisture to be trapped between the
undercoating and the metal. This has occurred on the exterior of the chassis.
Any ideas on how to attack this project would be appreciated.
