Re: [DML] The Golden DeLorean

Murray,
I'm sure it was the same car. I was mistaken as it was the passanger 
door (not driver) that had the inferior plating job. He would have 
parted with the car for ~$60k. I tried to determine what it would take 
to get the door redone but the risk turned me off. I have seen many cars 
with their trim gold plated (older Caddy's) and they tend to not stand 
up very well. The trim you see around that looks gold plated is really 
TiN plated and MUCH more durable and attractive. I could just see 
myself making myself sick trying to keep the gold up and risking going 
thru it and having a little stainless start to show thru. I am very 
happy with the solid stainless, thank you very much.
