The DeLorean frame is actually an epoxy covered steel, which has been known to have problems with rust. There was one(?) composite frame that was used in one of the prototypes, but that didn't make it into production. Even though at least one of the original brochures had the exotic frame listed as a component. If frame concerns are a major issue, due to rust on an otherwise marvelous DeLorean, check out Bryan Pearce's Permaframe WWW page at: http://www.pearce-design.com/html/permaframe.html A complete frame replacment made out of stainless steel. As a minor side note, at least one of the Safety Program release notes if I remember correctly dealt specifically with strengthening front end impact resistance (someone correct me if I am not remembering correctly ... ), but I don't have the Technical notes with me right now to look it up ... I wish you the best with whatever car you finally decide on :-) Josh Seely now.here@xxxx Vin: Pending
