Initially, the frames on the DeLorean preproduction vehicles were
manufactured of Stainless steel. This was an expensive chassis and JZD was
quoted describing the frame, "that's not extravagance...not even Rolls Royce
does that." (produce stainless steel chassis. Old Rolls Royce's' were made
with wooden frames)
The epoxy coating was an alternative idea to stainless.
I have been doing some research removing the epoxy from the DMC chassis with
RediStrip Company of Roselle Illinois. They developed an immersion process in
alkaline tanks to remove rust, paint, epoxy, etc., off of car parts, such as
the entire DeTomaso Pantera body. After the process is complete the frame can
be galvanized or power coated again.
RediStrip advertises in Hemming Motor News.
