That's pretty much in line with what a friend of mine was charged
For the tub of his TR4 over 12 years ago here i the midwest. If you
go the totally stripping route it would seem expensive. Being able
to piece it out would soften the blow... would the shop cut you a
discount for the entire car?
I opted for sand blasting my TR4 primarily because I didn't want to
replace the seam sealer, secondly my car wasn't destined to be a
concourse car finally, the sand blasting route was a tad cheaper
than dipping. I did get the frame dipped however, and shot two cans
of rust proofer in every orrifice I could find once the paint had
dried on the frame .
