[DMCForum] stainless thickness

[Farrar Hudkins <fhudkins@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, gang:

The other day my friend Bekah and I were taking a nice walk around a 
lake on a warm Spring Sunday ... and naturally the topic of conversation 
wandered from her motorcycle to my potential DeLorean. She wanted to 
know how thick the body panels are on the little stainless wonders. 
Turns out neither of us know the properties of type 304 stainless steel 
and therefore whether they'd have to be thinner or thicker than regular 
"carbon steel" used in other vehicles to meet the same stiffness/safety 
requirements. So now she's got me curious, too ... just how thick is 
that metal? Anybody measured it when they had their car taken apart?

Regards,
Farrar
