🧪 Stripping a 1972 Dodge Challenger to bare metal with chemical dipping is one of the most extreme restoration processes out there. The body is submerged in chemical baths that remove every trace of paint, filler, rust, and undercoating. Unlike blasting, dipping reaches hidden seams and inner panels where corrosion hides. The process leaves a clean steel shell, perfect for repairs and fresh primer. It’s expensive, usually costing thousands, and only specialized shops can handle it. Risks include thinning metal, destroyed factory markings, and immediate vulnerability to flash rust. Despite the risks, it’s one of the most thorough ways to give a rare classic like the Challenger a fresh start.
