Did you all know that Galvanized paint was invented back in 1830's, and galvanized metal has been discovered on some armor used in India in the 1700's! So I am assuming it was cost prohibited in the 1970's? Or was the steel used on the 914's galvanized but maybe the technique was not perfected. American cars were built with a predetermined life (planned obsolescence) so the consumer would buy new every several years. Porsche too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Or maybe they were designed to be bio-degradable, a green product... |

as well as being toxic when subjected to welding (perhaps more important in the days when people did the welding on bodies - not robots). Tom /////// Important now if any body plans on welding any of it. I've had to do it before. Just want to meantion that for any new welders that might not know. Matt |

Matt "On the nosey" Matt - I just assumed that folks would figure out that it's still an issue with welding GI today, but it never hurts to drive home the point directly!
