Part of the beauty of the DeLoran is the fact that all the panels and doors
are relatively easily removed for shipping. The "big boys" as you put it,
regularly receive panels in the mail and by truck that we then repair and
return to the owner for reinstallation. An owner from Tennessee actually
brought us both quarter panels and the "T" roof section which we repaired
while he was in Houston for a week.

Stainless repair is not something you want to attempt or have someone
attempt without training and experience. Occasionally we get panels here
that have been worked on prior to us getting them. It *always* costs more
to fix what someone else has screwed up, and in a fewinstances, the panels
have had to be replaced.

Next week I will post some images of our "before and after" stainless
repair work. I think you will be amazed at what can be fixed when there are
trained craftsmen doing the work.
