<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MosportGreen66</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Mark, amazing restoration. Can you explain the chemical dipping/stripping process?

Did you have to remove the trim tag? Did you need to strip the paint first?

Thanks,
Dan </div></div>

Another small tidbit to add was that the body was &quot;E coated&quot; after the dip and before paint, which also helps to neutralize the dipping process as well as seals the metal.

Stitch/Ron,
Are you still in touch with Andy? The current owner would love some history on the car.
