Tyler, Congratulations on your new purchase! I know #3472 and the former owner Mike Babb. You have yourself quite a nice DeLorean now. I know that you got the car from NC, so my question is where have you taken it? Is it still in NC or a nearby state? As far as the frame rust is concerned, I would read the back issues of the DML and the tech notes on the dmcnews webpage. Those sources will tell you how to repair the rusty areas of the frame. My recollection of the sources involves scraping off the old epoxy and using something (a popular option is POR-15) to "re-paint" the areas. I hope this little tidbit helps and good luck with your new D. Regards, Darren Decker VIN 5000........in NC [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
