Make sure that the chassis can drain completely so residual stripping fluid is not a problem. The car will be rinsed after stripping. Ask about a phosphate dip to inhibit rust while it's there.
I have had cars sandblasted and getting all the sand out afterwards is about impossible. And flimsy or thin spots will disappear.

A friend who just did a body-off on a '69 Alfa GTV had it chemically stripped, all rust cut out and patched, straightened, lead-filled, and finally phosphate dipped. It cost several thousand dollars, and this was before paint.
