Who has stripped their chassie and had it blasted? The good and the bad. And what did you do to the metal after it was striped? My car will be on a rotisserie for the stripping.
Thanks! |

My /6 tub was dipped. The tub was painted and it's been sitting for 5 years since. No issues whatsoever from leftover acid/chem/whatever it was as most people fear. Worked for me...

They were all rusting as the chassis continued to weep. Soda blasted mine after I saw that. No regrets. |
