There's place in Santa Ana as well. A lot of people think acid dipping is fine for industrial engine blocks and heads and some steel assemblies that are complicated.
In a car like a monocoque Porsche where you find many seams and some multiple pinch seams, acid gets in there and doesn't get completely out. Media blasting won't cause the car to rust. Acid will eliminate the last little bit of rust prevention and you will have to corrcet that 100% or face bubbles in the paint later on.
I would be in favor of dipping hoods and doors where you can spend some time on the seams and know where they all are. There are so many things going on around the rear suspension tube and at the rear of the doors that it's hard to understand. There are alot of hidden seams.
