Galvanising

As others of you may have watched, there was a shell sold in the last few days 'in another place' that was listed as fully galvanised. My questions (as I am about to get to the fully stripped shell stage on 1956 four door) are various, is it possible, is it worth it, is it costly, for and against &a...
