Maybe try something like Opera Performance... factory sheet metal welded over factory sheet metal for twice rigidity, and only in targeted areas. eg: the front strut area... door frame area... rear subframe mounts...
maybe make a full carbon undertray as well...

First off its not cheap costs will greatly depend on your costs of hauling the carcass to the shop and back.
Word of caution, if your 240sx had any weak panels after an acid dip you'll get swiss cheese for a return. Also if the caustic solution isn't properly neutralized it will weep back out through any new paint you put on it.
On topic:
If they will post pictures of it I'd love to see how much metal they are going to be able to rip out of this race car.

Call around for the acid stripping. We found a large difference in price and time frames. We had to travel a bit but found a good place that was quick and reasonably priced.
FYI, the Evo shell dropped 40 lbs at the acid stripper.
