Acid Dipping

[rivernut]

I talked to a company called Quick Strip today.PH 563-262-8538. They are in Muscatine, Iowa, on the Mississippi River. Anyway. They have a process where they take your truck part(s), bake off the old paint, dip it in an acid bath to take all the rust off and out of crevices not easily gotten to with a sand blaster, then dip it again in a neutralizer, then put a metal preserver on it. To do a cab, doors and front fenders and hood is between $650-$750. I haven't decided if I'm going to go this crazy yet but I thought maybe some of you who live in the midwest would be interested to know. I'm not sure if this is a common practice around the country or not. I have done a quite a few vehicles and have always just sanded, stripped or sandblasted my parts.
For Ref. Chicago is 3 1/2 from there and St. Louis is 4 1/2.
Quote of the year from my oohh so smart dad after telling him this:
"$@#*&christ, what the H$ll happened to alittle sandpaper and sweat, I did all mine stuff by hand". Sorry dad it shows, I just didn't have the heart to tell him.
