Tom and Brian take the Pantera chassis to a cryo-blaster for some much needed cleaning. The name of the game is preservation not restoration, and there's no better way to preserve the patina of this classic sports car than dry-ice.

Love this car! Back in 1974 I was at the DMV renewing my tags and was in line behind a guy from the local Ford dealer. He was arguing with the lady behind the counter about why a car that was a 72 was a new car. She just couldn't grasp the concept it took two years to build a car. Ahhh, simpler times.

Tom you are no doubt so proud of Brian perhaps have him tag along sometime for a video if his schedule allows. I had the same relationship with my Dad too (once car guys always car guys) the dirt in a jar was perfect.... and right next to Mom's ashes... doesn't get much better than that.

@vettekid3326 2 месяца назад

When I was a supplier quality engineer 20 come years ago we started using dry ice blasting to clean steel castings both for rust and also toxic preservatives that some foundries would apply. The beauty of it was there was no chemicals or blasting media to dispose of in landfills. That greatly offset the higher initial cost of the process.

@jeffplant3 2 месяца назад

Totally awesome video. Such a great technology for restorations like this and obviously lots of other genres. Great project to be following along. Never dull and always an education

@mcseforsale 2 месяца назад

I've watched more than several of these blasting videos. The most remarkable ones by far are more modern German cars (like that white Porsche in his shop). From the late 70s and into the 90s, those cars were absolutely caked with Cosmoline for the overseas trip. When they strip that stuff off an old Porsche, it's amazing. Great video. I'd always wondered what a car of this vintage would look like after ice blasting. Enjoying the series very much.

@andoletube 2 месяца назад

Makes you wonder though, maybe the Cosmoline was the reason they looked so good after 30, 40, 50 years. If you blast it off, does it accelerate the corrosion process? Maybe after blasting these parts a new coating of Cosmoline should be applied.

@mcseforsale 2 месяца назад

@@andoletube Of the videos I've watched, there was a replacement sprayed back in its place that was not as thick. Probably something like Boeshield or similar. But, absolutely. I remember when a shipment of Japanese cars were sent over back in the 80s that didn't get the treatment for travel and were all recalled within a year or so. That trip does NASTY things to a car of that vintage.

Cryoblasting is pretty versatile - I've seen people use it to remove mould from the framing in an attic. And because the dry ice sublimates, it makes clean up pretty easy.

We used dry ice blasters 20 years ago. Worked for a roofing company and all the tar built up on roof cutters and electric tools was a mess. Freeze and blast the tar off was the best way. Could blast all the electrical motors too with no damage.

@lazyhoundracing9621 2 месяца назад

I work as a project superintendent building dry ice manufacturing plants nationwide. They have all been built next to ethanol plants with a pipeline from their fermentation tanks to supply the CO2. The CO2 is cleaned pressurized and liquefied then released to make "snow". The same thing that comes out of fire extinguishers. It's 109 F below zero. From there it goes to a press for blocks or to a row of pellet machines.

I was an electrical engineer for a tire company. When we would upgrade tire building machines we would dry ice blast the machines before tear down. We used a 2” screw auger inside the dry ice tote to fill the blaster hopper. Make sure you use a vacuum while dry ice blasting. All the oil and grease quickly melts onto everything.

Conveniently omitted downside to dry ice cleaning mentioned in other comments. Were this a "real" job, I wonder what the cost to customer would be. Looks like they used the entire thousand dollar hopper full, maybe more. Spraying what looks like a dime sized pattern, a very tedious and time consuming process, probably taking operator an entire day to complete. So, out the door $1500. - $2000.? Seems it would be far cheaper to start in the driveway with a pressure washer removing up to 90% of dirt and grease, particularly if you're willing to jack the car up, lie on your back and spray upward. THEN go through dry ice cleaning, including interior, cutting cost significantly.

@mndlessdrwer 2 месяца назад

dry ice blasting is really an amazing method of cleaning a vehicle when the dirt and grime are too severe for ordinary methods to clean without risking damage to the underlying paint. It's also a great way to refurbish certain plastics and rubbers. The only downsides are that it's (a.) expensive to get the equipment, (b.) time consuming because the spray pattern is quite narrow and there's basically no splash effect so it only cleans precisely where you're spraying it, (c.) it cannot remove anything beyond the mildest surface corrosion, and (d.) you need to wear the appropriate bunny suit with full mask and you need strong ventilation since the dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide and can cause the operator to suffocate if there is insufficient air flow. If you use a diffuse nozzle and appropriate particle size, you can actually use dry ice blasting on automotive paint. The only thing you need to be careful of is to make sure you don't have detaching paint because it'll take it off once you get the paint embrittled by the cold and get that pressure and media under it. But if your paint is in good condition then you can dry ice blast it with the right settings and get a very good result. It basically functions by embrittling, shrinking, and detaching all of the dirt and grime off of the surface along with the topmost layer of any plastics that have become powdery. It's not ideally suited for particularly brittle plastics, disintegrating rubbers, and glass. But when it comes to dirt that's been caked on by grease or any other oily or waxy substance, there might not be any better cleaning method out there for getting it off while preserving the underlying finish and not making your shop an irredeemable wreck.

Tom,, I have seen this proces and it is generally quite good. To get that rusty radiator stain from the engine bay use contentrated chemical detergent. Spray it on with a trigger pump,, leave for 10 min and blast off with a pressure washer, it will come up better. That rad stain will wash off. Near 50 years of detailing cars in house. Possibly use the detergent then dryice off. The gearbox came up better with brake clean. Though glass bead it and it will come up new. But keep the glass outside only!!

When 911 prices went through the roof during Covid, I took a long hard look at the 993 C4 in my garage. I worked out that selling would give me 15 years of driving, maintaining and repairing a 911 for free. I had it dry ice blasted and put it on the market, the prospective buyer had it inspected at a local Porsche specialist. When it was up on the ramp, the mechanic looked at it and then took off his gloves.😉 Although it was high mileage, it sold immediately for my asking price.
