    Videobob's Time Machine # 16 - For Adam Kontras in Hollywood

    We just finished our 16th Time Machine for friend Adam Kontras in Hollywood!
    Check out this video:


    Anyone remember that BITCOIN Delorean that was for sale?
    We used that one.
    It was a black automatic but we made the shifter appear as though it were a manual.

    We went out of our way to make this car as otherwise screen accurate as possible and we feel this is one of our best most detailed cars to date!
    Adam flew in to Dallas and stayed with me at my house while we finished it up.
    We went to the Dallas ComicCon together and met Christopher Lloyd who signed his visor for him.

    Because we per-fabricate our parts ahead of time and put them on the shelf and get them ready, we were able to build this car in about 2 weeks!
    We actually had the car for a month but we didn't get to it for a few weeks.
    We really have this down to a science and an art now, myself and my team have this down pat!

    Here are some photos of the car.















    Thanks for looking!
    - Bob

    Bob,

    when it was for sale, it was listed as an Auto. This pic makes it look like a manual:





    Did you do a conversion (transmission type) or just use a stick-shift type gaitor?

    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    We hadn't mounted the shifter ball yet because we were waiting on finding an original to order. Thanks.

    BTW, credit for this shifter mod goes to Danny Botkin.
    Adam had seen this done on one of Danny's cars and insisted that I do it to his.
    With the ball mounted, it looks legit!

    Btw, have you ever given thought to a non-destructive mod, or even a lightweight mod (or hybrid of the two)?

    That's clever. The best of both worlds.
