Chassis removal and shielding idea

["Christopher M. Hawes" <chris@xxxx>]

Steve,

In regard to Steve and his frame renovation,

Does the DMC frame flex a certain amount????

If so, will the Wurths rock and rust guard flex with the frame or crack
allowing water to seep into the water sensitive frame???

Has anyone ever though about a plastic chassis shield which would protect
the epoxy coating from stone chips. It could be very thin, strong and light
protecting much of the frame from damage?

Thoughts on this DMLers????

lots of snipping - I am removing the frame from the body is to restore it
(to answer one DMLers question). It has alot of rust on it and I want to
remove it and recoat it with
Wurths Rock and Rust guard so it doesn't get worse. I will be painting over
the wurths paint with a grey paint to closely match the original color (any
sugestions?). The wurths paint only comes in Black,
altough I have seen POR15 (another rock/rust guard paint) both in black and
grey - end of the snipping.
