Well done to all involved in this, it is nice to be able to find more history of your car.
By the way, only some trim items and a front shock replaced on my car.

Chris Duvall worked at each of the QAC locations, applying the same organizational setup, given the limitations of each location.
The Wilmington, Delaware QAC only existed for less than two months (about 7 weeks), operating mostly out of Office Trailers.
The Bridgewater, New Jersey QAC replaced the Wilmington, Delaware QAC location, once the Bridgewater deal was completed.
Chris setup the Santa Ana, California QAC and stayed a few more weeks, before he was sent to setup the Troy, MI QAC location.
The Troy, MI QAC was were Chris spent a majority of his DMC career and since it was close to his family, it was also a good fit.
Chris Duvall (Parts POG) and Jeff Synor (King POG) gave us the names of nearly all the POGs, including Bezel Bob (funny story),
so these pieces of the POG Puzzle will be added to the website in the Future.

Lots of POG information has been aqcuired over the past several years, and its just a matter of time until we get most of it confirmed and posted.
As mentioned, this is an information website (nothing for sale) that will be enhanced over time with more POG and QAC related stories and topics.
Not sure if we can confirm the total number of POGs that worked at the QACs, since CR Brown had a habit of firing many new hires after a few days.
I guess if we can define a minimum amount of time worked at a QAC, then we will have a better idea of how many folks were considered true POGs.
The operational dates of the QACs are a little fuzzy, but the lease dates for the locations are a little better defined. Each of the QACs took different
amounts of time to setup for use (such as Bridgewater already had lifts on-site, while Troy needed lifts, extra lighting, diagnostic equipment, etc.).
As the information is compiled, then confirmed (we have the POGs proof it all before it gets posted), more information will be added to the website.
As in the past, we have a big POG POW WOW during the Woodward Dream Cruise every year, so it's when we get the most in-person stories, etc.

For those of you that had an early DeLorean processed through the Santa Ana QAC, your car may be in this QAC video.
I acquired this video a number of years ago, with an entire box of DeLorean memorabilia from a DeLorean owner in CA.
Thanks to Tony Swann for converting this video from an old VHS tape into a digital format, for all DeLorean enthusiasts to enjoy.
This QAC video will eventually be posted on the POGs website, but for now, the video will be posted to YouTube initially.

As a side note, this appears to be a "home video" from 1981, so there is a lot of "white balancing" being attempted at the start.
Those of you who shot video back in the early to mid-1980's may recall white balancing the camera settings before shooting video.
Enjoy !!
