- All - Well, add me to the list of suckers launching into a total restoration. I was half way into an expensive paint job when I had this epiphany (probably over too many beers one night) that I would

- I had my 100S frame dipped (not acid but caustic) and I am glad I did. Put in some extra drain holes and then put Waxoyl in the frame. I didn't put the primer on for years as I had to remake the sup

- Why is it that buddies all stand around and root for you to go whole-hog on a restoration? ...they always do, ya, know! But to be fair, they are also willing to drink your beer while you are under th

- Just a thought...Have you considered powder coating the entire chassis? I've had a couple of chassis stripped (not w/ acid) and then repaired and painted. Used RediStrip in Vancouver, BC and American

- The inside of the frame is a concern. The acid will get in and clean out the inside of the frame, where media blasting won't. Then the e-coat process will get in and treat all of the "hidden" spots.

- I suspect you will get the pros and cons from both camps on this- dipping vs blasting. I can only share what I did with my own BN7. I chose to have the frame/chassis sand blasted and the blaster did

- It depends on what color you plan for the chassis. The powder coater I used proudly said he had 8000 colors to choose from. I wanted "Healey Blue". After a long look at his sample chips, found only o

- Hi Ed, The entire chassis must be recaulked after the powder coating. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. The blasting and 400F wipe out the caulking. After the powder coating, I used some crystal clear
