Is yours the one with the closing doors?

Yes, or... Dave and I call them "anti-launchers". I will try to post a video, but it has been a crazy week. We got home at midnight Sunday. The car we were following blew its clutch on the way home...on a Sunday...in rural Ohio. Took several hours to get a tow. I haven't caught up yet. :-)

That was the awesomest mod I have ever seen on a DeLorean. I was too occupied with picking up my jaw off the floor, and for got to take pictures/video of it. Wow, just WOW!

Now, make the hood, louvre, and engine cover do it.

Did you replace your gas door struts with linear actuators for that? If so what size?

So who were the 1-2-3 in Best Painted and Best Modified?

[vin6635]

I won first place in the 60-70k class at this year's DCS. In 2010 I won 2nd in the 40-60k class. In the past four years I replaced my eyebrowed fascia with a fiberglass fascia and replaced my original carpet with the Houston replacement set. Most everything else was the same. Next time I'll most surely be in the +70k class and I have a few ideas of additional things I want to take care of before then.

No awards this time for Project Vixen. =( At our last show (Pheasant Run) we took first in the 'under 10k miles' category. They only had an 'under 20k miles' this time, which had some truly amazing cars! It was a honor to be parked among them.

But to quote Walt Disney, “Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new [gullwing] doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

We learned a lot of new things and got a LOT of great ideas at the show. It gives me motivation to improve and "keep moving forward"!

So who were the 1-2-3 in Best Painted and Best Modified?

Non-Concours judging was a bit different this time and so were the categories. Only the cars under the tents were judged,
with a few exceptions that were "Exhibit Only" such as Proto-1. The D Rex and the DeLorean Limo were not under the tents.

Although I do not recall all of the categories, I believe the mileage classes encompassed both painted and stock finished cars
and the only other class for painted cars was the "Painted - Modified" class, so no extra class for "Painted" stock/mild custom.

There was a "Best Engine Swap" class, but no "Best Modified" class (IIRC). Marty Maier has a very nice mild custom turbo car
and I believe he was a winner in one of the mileage classes, not in a modified class.

So who were the 1-2-3 in Best Painted and Best Modified?

Actually, there were separate classes for Best Painted and Best Modified.

Best Painted:
#1 = Curtis (no surprise there!)
#2 = the black D with yellow interior (very clean car)
#3 = a red Delorean from Ohio (very nice overall)

Best Modified:
#1 = dunno
#2 = dunno
#3 = our red Delorean with Stage I exhaust (my wife accepted the award)

Sorry I don't know most owners names - I met a few folks, but mostly was in the vendor tent buying and trading parts rather than taking pics and being social... ;o)

I will have to go with Andy's assessment of the class naming, since I was not paying that close attention to the announced classes.

Ken had previously named classes such as "Painted - Modified" and "Un-Painted - Modified", which always seemed a bit unusual "naming"
for a car show where most of the cars are "Un-Painted" or stock finish.
