Joe's right. Why court the possibility of hydrogen-assisted cracking in 80-year-old fasteners holding a two-plus-ton automobile together for the sake of some clipboard-wielding cupcakes? I learned about this side effect of plating from a lifelong aero/auto machinist/mechanic pilot who worked on everything from his driven in the real world supercharged '37 Cord Phaeton to P-51 Mustangs and one of the only 18 P-40s still flying.
