has anyone ever galvanized a car frame - what prep is needed beside basic
oil/dirt/paint removal

it could be electrolytically de-rusted (tank made from large poly sheet
and wood frame on concrete floor), or will the galvanizing process handle
leftover surface rust?

only a few of these car frames made, buying another means basically
buying another car

Didn't do it myself but I have seen one done. For cleaning a good
washing with Dawn/water and rinsing to remove oil/grease. Then derusted
in electolytic bath. The hardest part was finding a plant that still did
hot dip and could fit a frame in the tank. Don't forget you need to plug
any threaded holes and be sure the frame is square and unbent.
