Pictures added... I attached pictures showing pieces that were acid dipped and also a couple of pieces that were sand blasted. I am happy with both. Sand blasting was used on parts that could take the abuse without any worries. All body panels, doors and big body pieces are to be acid dipped. WARNING: Acid dipping shows the ugly truth. If you have crappy metal it all shows. The pitting that was under the paint and hid what looked like good metal, well it was not good metal. The good part is now I can fix the bad stuff. The good metal was still good and now shows 60 years worth of dings and neglect. But I want to keep as much original metal as possible. The guy that did my sand blasting was really reasonable, probably a third of what acid dip would cost for same parts. Cam out great. Both blasting and dipping will require a good work over with maroon scotch brite pads, hammer out some major dents and then a coat of primer to keep it safe over the winter.
