In Ft Wayne IN there is a business called Pro Strip that sprays a chemical (not sure what) on parts a s large as a differential and bakes them - all rust & paint gone - ready for etching primer. NO stripper residue to worry about....  I sent my fenders & hood in & rpayed etching primer... 

Pro Strip is listed under automobile reconditioning.

We took a 240Z unibody on a jig to them - they blasted the outside with soda - real smooth metal finsh & the inside with steel shot - more coarse metal finish.  A bit of running the shop vac in spots & minor prep & ready to spray the etching primer.
