Ian Moone Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Anybody use it ? I was thinking under the cage footings and places the cage ties into the chassis. Anyone with thoughts,wisdom,or experience . Comments would be appreciated. Good idea? Waste of time and money? Also if you used it what kind did you use?

Technical Advisory Committee Ray Franck Posted July 22, 2018 Technical Advisory Committee Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I have used it for years doing restoration work but only on sheet metal . If you don't coat the backside it will rust out in a couple of years. I will say it has a high zinc content and weld prettyness will suffer . I only use it where there is no way to coat the backside after the weld . Does it work ? Well its got to be better than nothing and the test of time says yes ,cars I done over 20 years ago are still lookin good and winning shows. Wether you need it between steel plate I don't know . I also coat alot of metal with a etching chromate primer that seems to keep rust away quite well .. As far as name brand I have used Transtar weld trough and etching primer for many years ...

Black Magic Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Depends how long you plan to not race it... The oldest race chassis in chump i bet has competed for 6 or 7 years. Race enough and you will be forced into a new shell eventually (so it sort of takes care of itself....). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
