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... |

One of the replacement panels I got from Restoration design, a passenger inner fender well, was I think galvanized.
I bead blasted the primer off, sanded it with 180 grit, cleaned it with acetone, and it looked like clean bare steel, but tig welded it and it got all yellow powder. I had to take a course wire wheel on an angle grinder to get past what looked like electroplating, some kind of metal all coating both sides. It took hours. Seems pretty dumb, to galvanize a replacement panel that is going to have to be welded in. |
