I would have to take a contrary view. I have  sand blasted two rusty Tigers 
and no matter how much sand , beads, walnuts, magic dust, or whatever, you 
cannot get all the places you would like to clean up. Plus, once you sand 
blast you will be cleaning out sand from various and sundry places forever. 
Every time I drove my cars I thought I was at the beach.

I have dipped many parts and love it. I have seen the cars that Doug 
Jennings has dipped and would go that route if I was to do it again. I think 
the concerns for post dipping are a bit over rated and good attention to 
washing and priming take care of  it, certainly as well as the problems you 
get from sand blasting.
