Started taping to paint the trim and gills, gotta get more tape so I can tape the paper to cover the rest.....lil side note, if you wanna make your delorean stand out, put frog tape racing stripes on it, you'll get lots of attention.

I'll be painting mine soon too, I'm undecided on painting the rub strips though...

I decided I might as well do all of the trim, including the windshield finisher thingies. Just got more frog tape today so I can finish masking the car tomorrow and maybe get the paint on.

If you have not worked out the front spoiler bolt problem, I can share what I did. The lower rear facia bolts are the same, but they need to be imbedded in the spoiler. I very carefully cut out the rectangular base of the bolts with a hot knife/soldering iron. I went from above but it would probably work from below. You have to remove the bolt with it's rectangular base. The base of the new bolts are a slightly different size. Then I epoxied in the new bolt. It seems to work well, but I have not installed it on the car yet

Yeah, Gonna have them do all that up at DMCNW when I get my car up there for the big job...hehe. Im not totally confident in my abilities to do that sorta thing.

Finished masking the car for part one of the trim painting. Painted the gills, side trim and rocker panels.

Also got a complete set of new exterior screws and gaskets for the maker lights, so I put them in...they look nice with the spiffy LEDs in there.

Got a nice set of gently used headliners.

I see the front t panel slips into the bracket and is secured at the front by the sunvisors? How is the rear secured (other than the bracket)?
I think Im gonna have to find sunvisors...and get the retaining plates put back in...PO i guess didnt realize you have to unscrew them and just pulled them out.

I also got some courtesy lights. Not pic though..hehe.
