My 59 Apache was chemically dipped during restoration and I offer thes helpful hints it you go this route. First, be sure to reseal panel areas that are welded such as your drip rail etc. Second, chase threads and be ready to helicoil any threaded holes as the chemical will remove badly rusted threads also. Just a heads up learned from experience. I was satisfied overall with my decision to go this route.
