Curtis,
This is what I did. My frame had some rust, on the bend in front of the
rear spring pick-ups.
I had the frame striped in the alkaline bath, then put through a de-rusting
solution. That cost me AUS$350.00
Then I had the frame hot dip galvanised. That cost me another AUS$300.00.
I am very happy with the results. I had to turn around the front brackets
that hold the nuts for the body bolts, and also drill a 25 mm hole in the
back, to allow the solutions go through the whole frame, and coat the
inside.
I can email you photo's if you are interested. Can't assist you with LA
location, though.
Cheers,
Sel 67.5 SR-20DET
P.S. My primary concern was to stop the chassis rusting from the INSIDE,
that is why I decided to take this path. If your chassis is sound, then
perhaps a sand blasting, followed by POR would be a better bet for you.

hope this works:
Hi, I'm new to the group. I have a 2L that I'm working on. My problem is
that I need to either sandblast or acid dip the frame to clean up the rust.
Any suggestions to which option I should take? Any recommended shops in
the
LA area? Thanks for the responses!
Curtis
