Buddy of mine is looking for a place that can dip-strip his frame. The guy in Rochester (actually Hilton) quit doing it some years ago and I haven't had any need it since then, so I don't know of anybody doing it. Is anyone doing chemical stipping in the Rochester - Syracuse - Buffalo area or did the EPA successfully drive 'em all out of business ??
Thanks,

I opt for media blasting.
I prefer sand on frames and plastic beads on bodies.

On a simple frame like an A or 32, chemical or dipping would work better than a later frame with cracks, holes and other crevices that would make cleaning more difficult.

I aure you will get several opinions on yoour question.

There was a place here a couple of years back... I had my drivers side fenders and hood and grille for my 36 done, then they sold the business...I do not know of anyone else, i will check.

The DEC nailed the one in Utica and put them out of business.
Last I checked the nearest one was near Pittsburgh. But that was a couple years ago.

Bob, I don't think you are going to find anyone in this area, there is a plastic media guy in Wayne county,and a sandblaster in Henrietta thats all I know of Serge

I agree - media blasting would be better. I'll pass all your comments on to my pal.
Thanks for the input.

long island vic,
Thanks anyway, but I doubt he'd want to go that far. I think I convinced him to get the frame media blasted.

kustomolds,
WTF - you been dipping into the happy weed again????

I'm also looking to plastic-media blast my chevelle. Anyone have a point of contact for anyone who does this sort of work in northern New York?

Thanks,

Bob,
I think the guy in Wayne county is done too.I think it was "NY Strip", i had some stuff done by him years ago.
Anyway, There's a guy in Hall NY thats been blasting sheet metal for people. In fact, It's Mark's (from 'Rod Tech') father. He did 2 body's for my buddy John, and was really resonable on price.
Not sure if he'd do a frame, but i can't see why not.

If your interested in contacting him to find out, lemme know and i'll give you Mark's number..I don't have his dad's..

Hey Tagman- There are no more places around here that dip anymore (that i know of,,damn chemical abuse people!!...lol)but several places that do media...Give Johny Boy a call cause he just took some of the Merc parts to get blasted...Also, Big Mike can hook you up too...if anybody would know it would be him!
I stoped by the other day to see if you wanted to cruise and grab a bite but nobody was around....
Wheres Spencerport??

Thanks for the latest replies, guys (the original question was first asked back in November, 2004). Since I initially posted, I found a good media blaster out near Albion, NY (about 30 miles west of Rochester). Guy's name is Carl Babcock and he's located at Rte. 104 & Knowlesville Rd., about 4-5 miles past Rte. 98. Phone no. is 585.798.8687 for anybody that's interested. Charged a friend of mine $150 for a Model A frame, just for reference as to prices.
