There are places that will "hot tank" the hulk of your car in a vat of acid. It's a 3 stage process I think- acid, neutralizer, and final wash. When you get the car back all of the rust, bondo, and crap will be cooked off.
The downsides are:
1.) If you have a real rust bucket (like mine was) you will not be able to do it since the car will (for all intents and purposes) disintegrate in the dip.
2.) EVERY little rust spot will be eaten away so you may end up with a lot of pinholes that need to be fixed.
Aside from that, I'd do it if you can.
