Re: [DMCForum] stainless thickness

[Mark Noeltner <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gotta agree with the others. Go for the girl.

And like Hank Breer said, you can't compare the panel thickness with other 
cars. Almost every other car out there uses the steel body panels as an 
integral part of the structure of the car. On the DeLorean the panels are 
just cosmetic. The fiberglass underbody is the structural part.
So you're comparing apples to oranges.
