Hello all and Happy New Year!

I am at the point where it is time to repair the frame and replace sheet
metal chassis parts and find I need the collective wisdom of "The
List".

I went through the archives at Team Net, AHClub USA and my own but still
have questions.

I would like to have my frame and chassis chemically dipped to clean it
and dissolve rusted sheet metal areas.

1. If I have the frame chemically dipped will it remove undercoating,
POR-15, and the mastic that was used to attach the front shroud?
2. I am told the frame will start rusting (surface
type) soon after
dipping. I presume a phosphoric acid treatment will minimize this and
allow the steel to wait a few days before it is prime painted. Is this a
correct presumption?
3. I live in San Jose, California (San Francisco Bay Area), does anyone
know of companies in the Bay Area (or Northern
California)
that will do the work I need?

Thank you so much and Happy New Year!
John
