Re: [DML] New DeLorean

physically get UNDER the car. look at the joints of where metal would meet 
metal and see if the epoxy is cracked. look inside the rear cross member - that 
goes under the oil pan) and see if it is cracked. If the cross mmeber is used 
to jack up the car and jack stands are placed wrong the epoxy can be cracked 
inside. Check the tie down "loops" see if the epoxy is cracked off. I got my 
car and the frame looked MINT. I had foundsome rust under some chipped off 
epoxy after I got it home. Nothing to worry about in my case as it was 
supperficial. Good luck!
