[Healeys] Chassis - Dipping vs Blasting

[David Lodge]

I had the BJ8 dipped a couple of years ago.  Best thing I ever did, but expect
some surprises!  That stuff cleans right down to the bare metal - or lack
thereof - so that the more badly rusted areas come out of the tank looking
like Belgian lace!  But it DOES get into every crook and nanny.  They can
strip aluminium in a different solution.

Regards, Lodge, Vancouver
