DeTomaso Mailing List: September 2000, Message #38

The last guy I heard who dipped their car (not a Pantera a low production
number mustang from the late 60s) removed the car and it looked like Swiss
cheese. The solvents were so strong that even the minor rust areas simple
disintegrated.  Additionally, the car  should be primered almost immediately
as the sheet metal will  begin to oxidize and rust very shortly after the
process as the solvents used are so strong and this may not be practical.

Paul, I am not a no dip

it's ready for a dip, if that's the best way to go.
