    why do you need to acid dip your 240? that is not something i would unless your doing a ground up resto. you have to take absolutely every thing off the car! for all the work and money involved I would just buy a 240 with a good body!

    lol... it'll cost you more then the car is worth haha.

    BTW, i dont think anyone out there can 'acid dip' a car...... looks like you'll be having a body shop media blast your bare frame.

    No no no...not an orbital... SANDBLAST, numbnuts...

    If you want acid dipping, I don't know of anyone that does it...but I DO know there's a company kinda by white water called metal coaters. I don't know if this is AT ALL up their ally...but if anyone, I'd try them...?

    Count on sand blasting...

    problem with sand blasting is that its impossible to get all of the blasting media out of the car. not so good for metal prepping
