"Acid Dipping" 1965 FB in Central Florida?

Jul 12, 2004 1 Replies

I am looking for a place to have my 1965 Fastback acid dipped that is close to Gainesville Florida. I have heard that there is a place in Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando but I can't find any of them with web searches. Can anyone help and do you have any cautions for any of these???



Thanks Dominic


I'd only acid dip if there's no other choice. You'll HAVE to completely disassemble the entire car to re-seal the seams. Even then it will still squeak like a MF cause you CAN'T seal all the seams that were done at the factory. THEN you get to try and make sure all of the acid has been neutralized and rinsed away, then you get to re-etch the body. Christ, just media blast it. It's cheaper and a helluva lot easier in the long run.
