Brian,
Victor was in favor of POR-15. Said it goes on easy as long as you don't
over do it. One coat is all you need. Very durable when against rocks
breaking it when you are driving the car. Most of the work will be going
into wire brushing and prepping the frame. Can you say elbow grease?
Powder coating seems to be the restoration shop choice as the coat is
"baked" on, but some have said it is not as durable. Roman showed me his
front sway bar which he painted with rustoleum paint and said he has done a
lot of driving and it still looks great. Personally, I am tending towards
the POR-15 solution.

Subject: RE: Three guys and a roadster
Sounds very nice to have so many roadsters in such close proximity. You
guys out west are lucky - enjoy it. I'm always quite alone in my garage. By
the way - what was the consensus on powder coating vs. POR-15 for the frame?
(That oughta start a discussion)

One of the things that I enjoy most about Datsun Roadsters are the people. I
have never been disappointed whenever I have asked for help with my cars.
People who own these cars also love to help others.
