Everyone keeps talking about 'nightmare' warpage in galvanizing a bulkhead.
In all the years that I've been on the list, haven't heard of anyone who
actually had one warp. Everyone that has done it has been happy, that I
remember reading about. Is this 'nightmare' warping just that, a nightmare.
If so lets put it in th closet with all the other discredited theories
like axles as a shear pin in the drive train and all the other imaginary
monsters.
The only warpage I've ever heard of was one that was run over by a forklift
at the galvanizer's, by the way.
Someone was speculating that the naked galvanized bulkhead wouldn't look
good with red panels on their truck. Might I suggest that the naked
bulkhead would look great with naked panels. A naked finish is extremely
durable, doesn't show scratches, and the price is right. Why paint a series
truck??
