Rust proofing
Please excuse the crazy question, but I gotta ask it.
Has anyone tried galvanizing an Amphicar shell??
We do tons of this with the Land Rovers and it is so rust proof it
seems like a natural for the Amphi body.
Thoughts?

Re: Rust proofing
What a superb idea! On a smaller scale, I also wonder whether those panels and parts most prone to replacement due to rust, such as quarterpanels, battery trays and so forth,might not also benefit from such treatment.
Since you've clearly done it withLand Rovers,I wonder if you could go a little more intothe galvanic process itself, about the necessary materials and/or prices, companies thatmight provide the service and so forth.

Re: Rust proofing
How do you apply the galvanizing? Could you do a whole car? Dennis

Re: Rust proofing
This is such a no brainer. Why hasn't anyone else thought of this?
