I have removed the front fascia and creating a totally new one. It is much more aerodynamic. Similar to current designs which are parabolic - which is the most aerodynamic.
These are the new brackets that the new fascia mounts to.

Here is a picture of the new rear tail light bar panel.
This rear illuminated panel will have:
Parking light bar
Brake light bar
Sequential turn signal indicator
Back up lights in bumper
4" x 12" (both sides) programmable lighting effects and color
Tests indicate excellent linear :LED light transfer through the light bar.
Note the machined and polished DMC letters.

Here is a picture of the initial test wiring for the rear light panels and other rear iights. The 4" x 12" matrix lighting will be driven by an Arduino.
I plan to have a port on the rear fascia support so I can change the Arduino program.

Managed to make some progress on the new front fascia and support structure.
Just light the rear fascia, I am still installing a foam bumper protection for the 5 mph standard.
This new aerodynamic design will allow installing the air conditioning condenser in the front with its own push/pull fans. By moving these fans
I will be able to install the radiator at a steeper angle and hence a larger radiator.
By now having the AC condenser blow HOT AIR onto the radiator, I should have a much more efficient cooling system which is especially important in the
hot las Vegas and Phoenix and Texas summers.
I plan on having a new custom size aluminum radiator built with 3 fans - just like Lotus does for their cars. But some how Lotus did not have a 3 fan
radiator design for the Delorean. Why not? Obviously, they knew better.

I am making good progress on the new dash pad and new dash AC ducting.
I will be posting pictures in the few weeks. Had to go back to IL to do some work.
Any D owners want to come by and visit, let me know.
