Thread: Electrathon - A Different Kind of "Hotrod"

I would never use galvanized ANYTHING on one of my hotrods or stock cars, but in this case where the whole car with batteries and driver is under 400 pounds, the strength of the welds is greater than the material itself and therefore not an issue.
