WTF... a hovering DeLorean body tub?

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/2831/201/32075100012_large.jpg

NVM... it's just hanging out waiting for its frame to dry.

Just hanging out, pre-fitting the body and frame... anyone seen my hand-held-grinder?

Today was rather nice, got a lot done engine wise. Unbolted the 4x4 frame from the bodytub and rolled it out. Removed all components from the engine. Tossed them aside for later use. Unbolted the engine from the tranny and attached a chain to lift it. Attached the "Redneck Do-All"'s winch. Removed the engine. Started tearing down the engine (those chunks of plastic and metal ain't a good sign). It had something to do with the timing chain. Ouch... one an three have seen better days. The piston is shot... err, busted and warped.:

The passenger side torsion bar spline was warped so we squeezed the retainer plate onto the square end of the torsion bar, then ran it up the spline as far as it would go, then torched and hammered it until the spline and plate were flush and installed the rednecked torsion bar:

With the torsion bar figured out, I did manage to cutout a piece of plastic in the shape of the rear glass and install it with caulk and rivets and black it out... no need in using the real rear glass since the time Machine components just cover it up anyway:

Started to tackle the Bronco-to-DeLorean wire merge process when the binnacle and passenger knee pad arrived so I mounted those and tossed the seat in... dad took some photos of me sitting in it. Now if only I could do something about those tiny pedals and my size 20" shoes:

Decided to tackle the rear-end adjustment problem yesterday, purchased a couple carbide masonry drill bits (http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=122219-353-HCBG22) (easiest way to cut through leaf springs), jacked it up and removed the 33x12.50xR15 wheels/tires, attached one end of the come along winch to the FordeLorean rear-end and the other end to my truck, loosened the U-bolts, dropped the read-end, drilled the new hole through the leaf springs, pulled the rear-end back 3 inches, reinstalled everything... now the tires are nolonger rubbing the inner wheel well.

It shouldn't cause any problems (only moved it back 3 inches) except the constant velocity joint didn't expand enough so we replaced it with a regular one from the same year/make/model with the splinded yoke shaft which seemed to work almost perfectly for it.

Yesterday was somewhat slow due to all the rain started mapping out all the wires for the BroncoII to DeLorean merge... what a mess! While parts scavenging at one of the local junkyards one of the workers pointed us toward a spot where he claimed "dat ol' Bricklin with da rear-mount'd engine" sat until they sold it over a year ago. Did he just say what I thought he did? After waging through the mud we arrived at the spot which was covered with tall grass and lots of bolts and parts scatted everywhere. A closer look at the parts revealed their true idenity, snapped some photos of what I gathered up and took home for $50... oh the joy of junkyard finds! Got home, cleaned up the all the junk with a sos pad and noticed one end of the torsion bar was hexagon shaped and the some of the splined teeth on the other end was missing... will tackle that today or tomorrow. Decided to install the lights since I now have both sides and trace down the wiring for them. What a day!

Sunday after church I finished wiring the dimmer switch, marker lights and headlights then called it a day.

Went back to that junkyard in Holly Springs today and picked up the rest of the parts that were laying around for $100 including various bolts & nuts, oil or vacuum canister, 1-in 2-out muffler (could this be converted into a 2-in 2-out for dual pipes?), an old Princeton sticker, hood hinges, headlight chrome and a couple plug wires.

Messed around with the driverside door today, installed the torsion bar and gas strut I found in the junkyard a couple days ago. Needs a little redneckin' but should work fine, put the vise-grip on it just for safety precautions. Felt a little proud seeing both wings out-stretched.

That's amazing considering your truck looks like almost any other lifted Ford pickup and your project doesn't seem to be capable of moving under its own power and doesn't seem very close to being done. What's your secret?

[Farrar]

The secret is a heaping helping of self-promotional bovine excrement. :D
