hi, i'm a new guy here. I just bought a 1972 GTO to restore 2 weeks ago. The body/shell looks sweet but I want to have it dipped before I start working on it. Hopefully I can find a company in Ontario Canada that is capable of acid dipping. Nice site BTW. Lots of infos. :seeya: :cheers

Nice car. You should keep a picture diary of the restoration along the way and keep us up to date with the pics, I know that I would love to see them.

You can also search for "material blasters" as well. Not sand blasters, but guys who shoot styrofoam beads, crushed walnut shells, and stuff like that. Their process comes out a lot cleaner than the dip as they can concentrate on heavily rusted areas, etc. The walnut shell stuff is pretty amazing -- as it absolutely does not affect any of the good metal. Good luck and have fun.

I'll make a picture diary for sure. I already found a company that do acid dipping in my area. :seeya:

I remember Richard Petty telling how they used to acid dip the bodys of the old stock cars. When a stock car was a stock car.

They'd use such a hot solution and take so much skin off you could put your finger through the roof
