electrolysis tank, i need to figure a way to do the whole truck!!!

Just get a Really, "REALLY" Big tank..

[hint, some stripping company's have full dunk tanks]

I dont know what the cost of that is but I know a man here in AZ that does that, last time I was at his shop he had a MBZ 300 gullwing he was dipping.

Best way to have at it... elbow grease.. Just pay attention to all the small tight corners and holes,,, go slow,, pay attention to details..
