DON'T DO IT!!!!! The acid gets caught in the seams, cracks and crevices
and will come back to haunt you a year or two later in the form of
corrosion, if not outright rust. A nice plastic media blasting will
cost you about 3-400 bucks or strip it yourself with a good aircraft
paint stripper. One of the best concours restorations I have ever seen
is now rusting away at the seams because of acid dipping. You invest a
lot of money and time into one of these even if you don't make it into a
concours car.
