    Looking awesome! Very nice work so far. You should take VBs 'clients', you do a far better job than him!

    Have you driven it with how it looks now? I hope you like attention. Best advice is watch out for people drifting into your lane when they are trying to take a picture. Also...a back up camera.
    lol. More like "How is the conversion handling on our Michigan roads" I was test driving a 1983 D on Saturday and that crossed my mind how our Michigan roads will Fook up a car like this. Just curious if you take it out on crazy I-696 and does anything fall off?

    I knew I should have went to the Dream Cruise! I was out of town for work

    Good Job!

    I'm just wondering about the people wanting to take pictures. I test drove one a couple of weeks ago and the rear window with the louvres is non existant, especially with a big truck up my butt trying to take pictures. Side mirrors I had to take extra care when I changed lanes as how you have a big blind spot. They remind me of my 1996 Eclipse. I'm 5"6 so I felt like I was climbing out of a vette lol, so I don't know how Michael J. Fox managed so quickly. in and out of the vehicle. I have been spoiled by my 2007 Sonata's mirrors and rear view window size.

    One of the first mods anyone should perform is installation of the convex side mirrors. They are a substantial upgrade to confidence for lane changes and rear visibility.

    looked in the Delorean Parts Store and nada, went to Autozone just for S&G's and this is what I found.

    I guess it would work. Unless someone has anything better: http://www.autozone.com/safety-and-s...ror/31929_0_0/

    I just want a temp fix until something better (mirror-wise) comes along so I don't get creamed in this car. But then again it was alot of things, shifting isnt as refined as a new or newer car (I had to remind myself that I was dealing with early 80's tech here, Car had 3k miles on it but runs great!), and I was worried about not messing up the car. Like the Eclipse I couldn't see the hood and then I had the dude in the F150 who was wanting to ride IN the engine just because he was wanting to take a picture lol!

    Thank you for that suggestion.
