RE: [DML] Re: Powdercoated DMC frames experience anyone?

[robin.coombe@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I can't speak for the longevity of powder coating or galvanising as it
wasn't my car and I didn't do the work (just documents the process on my web
site for someone else) but if you want to see what was involved in
Galvanising and Powder Coating a Delorean frame, take a look at the
following site:

	<http://www.delorean-dmc12.co.uk/restoration/default.html>

Click on the site link, then on The Restoration section, then Chassis.

It'll give you an idea of the kind of work involved and the look of the
finished product.


Robin.
P.S.  (It's not my car and I didn't do the restoration, just documented it
on behalf of someone else - details on the site.)

Have you considered a galvanized frame as an option?  My frame was
galvanized in the early 90's by the original owner and survived Kansas City
in the winter for over 10 years as a daily driver.  Is a great article in
Delorean World on the frame change out.  I do not know the issue number and
issue but here is a link to the article entitled "rust never sleeps"
