Subject: [Healeys] Frame and Chassis restoration

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
