[DMCForum] Re: impending frame off restoration

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well if the situation EVER came up where I had to split the body and 
frame, I would go for the stainless frame, it would be worth the 
price. Years from now on the D that I drive regularly I might just 
do it, not because it needs it, but because it is the ultimate 
Delorean option.

I'd finance it if you can't afford it, but since your down there, 
why not do it?
