Automotive Acid Dipping Needed
I am involved in the teardown of a older car for restoration and would like to know where I can get the vehicle acid dipped and get information about pricing. The car is mostly disassembled now and fenders, hood, trunk lid can be dipped separately, The body still needs to be removed from the frame, but this will be taking place in the next week or two. Thank you for your time. Any information would be helpful.

Ed. note: We prefer to keep these Hotline-letters technical and let the site's supporting advertisers respond in private to sourcing inquiries. However, shops which can dip entire cars or cabs are rare, and no one wants to pay cross country freight.
- So here are some shops that dip car bodies:
- Redi-Strip in Indianapolis IN, Roselle IL, Joliet IL, and Oak Creek WI; International Paint Stripping in Belleville MI; Kwik-Strip in Allentown PA; Metal Strip of New England in Worcester MA; Restoration Depot in Wauchula, FL; Pennsylvania Metal Cleaning in Monaca, PA.
Also, a place where that type of shop often advertises is Hemmings Motor News [link is to product info at Amazon].
