Default Car Dipping to remove rust and paint

Anyone know of a place close to DFW where a car could be dipped? Also, any estimates on this? cars a 67 camaro if it makes a difference.

Also, if theres no good place to get a dip anyone know of a place that does blasting?

Finally, any good sites to learn restoration and body work? specifically the rear glass area is rusted through and needs repair, im sure this is done alot but i havent seen how anyone has fixed it.

I havent heard of anyone around here really doing it. I would think that there would be a few in Houston though

I can't help with any info about getting it dipped or blasted. But here's a very good site with a ton of hotrod/streetrod info and you don't have to sign up to use the search function. Alot of bodyworking painting info.

I wouldn't let anybody blast your body with sand or aluminum oxided. It will WARP. You should get it walnut or plastic media blasted.
