Fw: Sandblasting is sweet!

[Steve Sears]

Brett,
Sorry for the semantics......but didn't 1984 come before 1987?  A 1962 DKW
Junior is also a "pre-1987 non-galvanized car" - mine have plenty of
galvanic corrosion, but were not galvanized ;-)  Yes, the _start_ of
galvanized body protection was around 1984 for the 5k and 4k, but not so for
the URq and Coupe GT.  And looking into the archives I see that Rob's
working on an '83 URq, so moot point - Rob will not be slapping his forehead
and saying "DOH!!!".  But the newbie who reads Rob's sandblaster praise and
attacks their galvanized car will....
 Cheers!
