I would seem to have a problem. I started investigating the availability of
chemical dip rust removal places and found there are none to be had in
Minnesota. I would believe that the Environmental Protection folks chased
them all out of business.
Given that I am launching into a ground up restoration of a reasonably solid
MGA, I would like to exorcise all the rust worms out of the body and chassis
before rebuilding the car. Also given that the MGA uses a box frame
construction, it is clear that blasting (of any kind - sand, plastic, glass,
etc) will not reach places it needs to reach.
The cost of chemical dipping is high enough, without adding $600 to ship the
car out of state to have this work done. But I would like to hear of other
solutions to the problem of a really GOOD method of rust removal.
Any ideas or offers accepted.
