I'd love to get my next one dipped..only hesitation I'd have is I've heard some horror stories about dipped bodys that have the remover bleed out of seams after paint, taking the paint with it..

I've had several dipped without any significant issues. They immerse them in a neutralizer after the parts come out of the tank and before they apply rust preventer. I think the experienced shops do their best to prevent the seepage out of the pinch welds from happening, but I've heard the same stories. The alternative is soda or glass bead blasting - each of which has its own issues. Or you can bake them at high temps in an oxygen free oven, but that doesn't remove the rust. This puppy had so much undercoat and rust i figured I'd roll the dice. It's not cheap, but there's no way I could hand strip it and grind/DA it enough to do a decent repair job. So far, I've only seen two places I'll need to watch out for. I'll post before and after pics when I treat those areas.
