Re: [DML] Digest Number 2677

This story I will not forget.. When I restored my Delorean and had 
the underplate powder coated I drove the car for several weeks 
without the cover in place...  I remember the belly bulging down 
when the tank was full but I can count my blessings. It never fell 
out.  Thank you for that story and to all who didn't know, a lesson 
well learned. I might have done it again sometime.
