GIBBS BRAND: BARN-FIND PRESERVATION IN A CAN!
With the current trend towards ‘preservation’ rather than ‘restoration’ of classic & vintage cars and motorcycles Gibbs Brand’s unique formula makes it the ideal product to halt corrosion, preserve old finishes and free-off seized parts without ruining that all-important original patina.

MORRIS MINOR STEPSIDE BUILD

This is the latest on Rob Whitwell and Rob McLaren’s amazing Morris Minor Pickup build. This long term project has so far involved lengthening the cab and fitting car doors. This next stage is the construction of an American style stepside pickup bed. As with all their projects, the two Rob’s use Gibbs Brand to protect and clean the bare metal during fabrication. ‘Once applied, Gibbs Brand will prevent bare metal surfaces from rust and corrosion, it will also allow metals to be handled without leaving corrosive finger marks. Also as you can see from the already painted cab, surfaces treated with Gibbs can be painted-over with no problems’

Tom Harral Metalsmiths

 

Tom Harral Metalsmiths are a team of metal workers specialising in a range of services from good old fashioned blacksmithing, to more modern CNC plasma cutting. Classic Car body restoration is a new venture for THM. The whole team have a keen interest in old Volkswagens and their Karmann Ghia is the first to receive the full benefit of their professional enthusiasm for metal conservation. Having completed the metalwork stage of the restoration it seemed a shame to cover-up all their hard work, so they coated the body with Gibbs Brand. Initially intended as an experiment, Gibbs Brand worked well enough for them to consider leaving the body bare as a rolling advertisement for their skills.
