RE: [DML] Galvanizing frame?

["Gus Schlachter" <gus@xxxx>]

I knew I had read about galvanizing somewhere:

Delorean World, Volume 9 number 1, 1992. "Rust Never Sleeps II" by Mike
Roberts.

In the article, Mike attempted to have a frame stripped in Methylene
Chloride, but could not find anyone with a tank large enough to hold the
entire frame. Plus, it was slow-going and required multiple treatments. He
finally found someone to just chuck it in the galvanizing tank, epoxy and
all, with the idea that it would burn off. It did, but make thick fumes and
required 4 dips in the tank. The galvanizer was not receptive to doing it
again. Mike said it was $400 but that was in 1992.

You should read the article, it's quite informative.
