[QUOTE="alikat, post: 99470, member: 1013"] Go for media blasting instead. It leaves paint on hidden panel areas where you will not get new paint to go, and it will not leach out acid in the damp UK climate. The last thing you want is for corrosion to start under your paint job because the shop did not neutralize the acid completely. The factory dipped the shells in a phosphating solution which coated and protected the insides of the sills, outriggers etc; an acid dip would strip this off. My '71 sunroof Deluxe was only $500 running! A big motor and paint job are scheduled in. The only rust is on the bottom edge of the nose panel, and has now been cut out. Al [/QUOTE]
