I am thinking about using this company for chemical immersion to strip paint and rust on my sheet metal body parts. I do not like sand blasting. Any feedback on this process would be welcome.

I had the place in Indy do some mid-60's British parts for me years ago, I was pleased with what they were able to do but surprised at what they couldn't. The inner & outer fenders were great nothing but shiny metal. However they were not able to touch the seamsealer on the edges of the doors. When I scraped the sealer off I still had rust underneath. On the plus side the coating they put on afterwards kept my parts from rusting until I was ready to prep for paint months later.
Best advice is ask a lot of questions and make sure to show them specific areas you are interested in. I probably didn't ask the right questions and just made an assumption about the door sealer.
