I have only heard of acid dipping the hole body to remove the wieght on those 68 hemi Dart/Cudas but then they would wrinkle the 1/4 panels with super torque hole shots after a while that would be a big tank to dip a hood or a whole car body Last edited by scratchnfotraction; 01/26/10 04:41 PM.

I was talking to a guy who did just that with a hood from a dodge dart. his only regret was that he didn't ecoat it immediately following, and just prepped it for paint and painted it. the inside bracing still formed surface rust, and at the seams on the underside, where water would run out, rust stains also came out and stained his paint job in a few spots Photobucket sucks
