sandblast might be your cheapest option. With a frame you don't need to spend the extra for any "specialty" blasting techniques, because you don't have to worry about it warping any panels

I just did my 69 front end and I sandblasted all those parts. If you don't have a sandblaster, you can purchase one at a local hardware store (got mine at Buchheits Farm & Home) for around $120. Hooks right up to your air compressor (you need to make sure your compressor is big enough to push the required PSI). I then found another local hardware store that sells the sand for around $5 per bag. I went through about 5 bags blasting all the parts. If you put down tarps you can make a sifter and reuse the sand (which I started doing after I went through the first 5 bags, lol).

That's me sandblasting the front end.

Then you primer and paint and you have:
