As one of the upgrades to the Iron Man Delorean, we are putting in a 360 view and rear view mirror. This is now a reasonable cost technology. in the range of $150 to $450.

We will be purchasing one of these systems in the near future and may have a display delorean at Delorean Weekend.

I’m very curious about what you’re using for the 360 view.

Joe,

There are half a dozen 360 view kits available. I was quite surprised how this technology has advanced so quickly. We have 360 view on our Nissan Leaf and find it very usual.

Originally, I was going to try to get a scrap one from a Leaf, but now it is just a kit. I will probably use a plane screen for development and testing and then integrated into the touch screen in the delorean.

I will post updates. Starting to work on the electric power steering.

The Iron Man Delorean is in Illinois and we are in Las Vegas waiting for this Covid pandemic to quiet down. I am working on the Arc Reactor for the Center Grill. About 50% larger than a normal Arc reactor. Ryan is working on animating the LED. It looks awesum.

WIll post some pictures soon.

Looking forward to Delorean Weekend later this year.

My last post on the Iron Man Delorean was 7/17/2018. Why so long ago. Well, the Illinois Tollway condemned our house and 4 of our neightbors in Hinsdale, IL. They did this under eminent domain so that they could add some park land on the west side in Hinsdale. It was a deal cut with the Village of Hinsdale, to increase the "green space" in Hinsdale. The Tollway also condemned the Hinsdale Oasis and tore it down. This "green space" was part of the payment to Hinsdale, for the Oasis.

The tollway only offered us half of what our house was worth and we lost $500,000 of our retirement equity. We fought this illegal taking for 4 years. We were about to win our case in July 2022, but 5 minutes before Judge Duffy's decision in our favor, the Tollway played judicial politics and had a different dishonorable judge Curry take over the case. You can read about Curry on "corruptionpedia on the web."

Anyway, the evicted us from our Hinsdale home on Aug 1 2022 and we had 30 days to get out. We had to find another house and quickly move out. We left thousands of dollars of equipment and furniture behind and moved to 50% smaller house in Willowbrook, IL.

We moved the Iron Man Delorean project to our home in Las Vegas and held our 9th Delorean Weekend in Las Vegas Oct 5 - 9, 2022. It was a great show. You can read about it on DeloreanWeekend.com, This year feature Katheryn Delorean as one of our quest speakers.

I am now resuming work on the Iron Man Delorean and will be posting updates over the next few weeks.

Here are pictures of the start of the new rear fascia. I will also be adding a rear spoiler.

I added greasable tie rod ends. I was surprised how much easier the car was to steer even without the electric power steering.
