Shot blast or Dip & strip..?

[AHealey]

I'm sure this has been asked many times....I've just started a resto on my Austin Healey 100/6. I need to remove the old paint & muck from the chassis & tub.(I'm removing the front & rear wings, front & rear shrouds & will strip these by hand) I cant decide should I have it shot/media blasted or a chemical dip. Has anyone had experience with this ? What are the pros & cons, cost implications etc...

Thanks...Not much rust visible, pin holes & weak areas in one foot well, but who knows after stripping ..!
The reason for stripping is to prep for paint & expose any defects like filler/rust.

Which ever method I use its going to be a nervous wait......The pictures shown make you realise what can be hidden beneath the paint..!
