Looking for auto dipping to strip paint/rust

I have a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville body in need of a chemical dip. It has some rust-through in small areas, but mostly its just getting rusty in all of the nooks and crannies where blasting won't reach. Its originally a Pennsylvania salty car that is now a California car undergoing restoration.

There is probably Bondo [affil links] that should come off, too. I basically want it taken down to all metal so it can be repaired properly instead of having the body work rust through again.

Photos of the car can be viewed at http://www.curtisandkim.com/bonneville3.htm . My email address is also there if you would like to contact me directly with questions.

I live in Downtown L.A. but I'm willing to transport it to you anywhere in SoCal within reason. As you'll see on the website, the car is still partially assembled, but it should be separated and ready for dipping sometime in January 2005 after the holidays.

Thank you for your consideration and I can be reached via response from this site, email, or phone; whichever suits you best.
