Stainless steel body work, practical?
Morning,
whilest at the Exeter show I saw some cars finished in polished stainless stell. I was wondering on the practicality of using stainless for the side panels, rear tub and bonnet. I am wonder the following: 1. Cost, presumably stainless steel is going to be pretty expensive. 2. Does one have to spent a significant amount of time a) polishing it in the first palce and b) keeping it nica and polished. 3. Workability, is working with the stainless steel going to be too difficult, i.e forming nice sharp bends and forming the material aroung the rear tub rails. I think, yes it would be far too expensive, it would need too much looking after and it would be a pain in the arse to work with. What are other peoples views, anyone considered it? Has anyone got a Haynes Roadster with stainless bodywork? |
