Rust Dissolving liquids?

... Who's gonna try it? Javier? Sounds like a good project for an architect.

Isn't there an empty pool somewhere in Connecticut ( @GJS ), to try this?

I was asking as like Mike mentioned, being at home nursing my thumb is killing me, I'm a do-er not the type to sit around.

Evaporust is on sale so it sparked an idea. I have a lot of small brackets and such and sandblasting is too time consuming for them.

My blasting cabinet has sat idle since I discovered Evapo-Rust....

I got it off a guy for a steal. When I first got it I blasted everything I could get my hands on..

Now I'm looking for options that are less resource consuming as I have one resto half done, one basket case half started and a fairly easy car waiting in the wings

I knew SOMEONE would find me a reason to keep that damned thing.

But seriously, I've often envisioned a cheapo (or used) swimming pool liner filled with vinegar or one of the more inexpensive liquids underneath a complete car. It would be pulled up around the edges by wires. Car would sit on bare rims to get it as close to the ground as possible; drivetrain, carpet, etc. removed. You'd probably need about 12" in depth to de-rust a subframe, floors and so forth. Maybe throw in some non-porus junk to take up volume. You'd still need a few hundred gallons I'd think.

Problem would be neutralizing it I suppose. Who's gonna try it? Javier? Sounds like a good project for an architect.

I know a company that does this. The front subframe and all the front end sheetmetal for my Windsor was de-rusted there. I have pictures somewhere of the entire shell of a Cuda sitting on the shop floor. It had just come out of the tank.

Never had an issue, as long as it is kept away from rubber and plastic parts. In fact, the parking brake assembly I picture above from 2013 is still silky smooth and rust free, but of course your experiences will vary.
