After fighting with seam sealer for while (it's sad when the best tool to remove that crap is a chisel) the last time I worked on my project I started wondering about having it dipped. So I really have two questions...




-Is there any place in the midwest/mountain states that will dip my teener?

-How much does this cost?



Thanks!

I know it will take it all down to bare metal, that's what I'm planning on anyway. Also I'm certain the rust isn't too bad on this car, it's just in pain-in-the-ass places!

For me there's two reasons for having it dipped

-The car is just grimey - it was washed before I started tearing it down but I have taken at least another 10 gallons of crud off it since then - some of the paint comes off easy, some is just as tough as anything out there... Not even getting into the seam sealer and the glue that held the carpets/pads down. All these problems could just melt away... In a huge vat of acid!

-And honestly, things are going slowly. I knew it would but I don't have to like it!


I'll check into Cheyenne and Laramie (Wyotech almost certainly has the equipment), and I'm probably going to roll the tub outside and give it a good powerwashing, at least that will clean up some of the crap.
