Rust converter

I'm starting a restoration of a 1929 tudor. This is my second car. The last one was 30 years ago. Most of the work was removing the old paint.
This new project has 30 years of rust - or looks like it. Lots of rust but little all the way through. Looking for ways to remove the rust. I have tried sanding, sand blasting and a "naval jelly" like product. Slow and a lot of work. Dipping is an option but the nearest vendor is too far away and expensive.
What about "Rust Converter"? Klean-Strip makes a product that says it converts the rust to "primer" you just paint over it. Any one tried it? I am concerned that in a few year the rust may be back.
