I'm pretty sure it was Acid Dipped... Dick is the best one to comment on this... I'll ask to confirm.
It was taken to Paul's in MS for a couple reasons... 1 the investor has experience with Paul and was satisfied with the results. Paul has a good rep and was interested in doing the restoration...it will take up a lot of his time too.
2...to avoid the costs in Canada... it prob won't be coming back here tho as Customs would have a fit in charging costs...paper wise it made sense.
So I sent Dick a message and he tells me it wasn't acid dipped!!
