If you have the jackstands with a flat pad on top, those are ok, if we are talking about the four jack points on the underbody. If you only have the jack stands with the two-finger channel, you should have a 2 x 4 between the stand and the body or else the stand will dimple the underbody.Originally Posted by SupercoolBill

Does anyone know if there is a car VIN search services that gives info of previous owners? I used Carfax on the last couple vehicles and noticed that they no longer give you names and addresses of previous owners. Just the state it was registered in.

My VIN: Banged your VIN'S mom
LOL...if any group can tell you the history based off the vin, this one can!
PS, search the DML archives(if they are still up), I got a ton of info on mine that way.
That's DeLorean Mailing List BTW

You can check to see when/if your VIN was ever registered on the DeLorean VIN Registry
http://www.citizenkidd.com/dmc/pages/vin.aspx
Or you could use Google to search the DML as Michael suggested as well as DMCTalk. Maybe a previous owner was an active member.

This came with my blasting booth. Do you think it is safe to use? Or should I buy glass beads?20211111_085105.jpg

Well, I am still a bit in shock but our prayers have been answered.
We found a usable frame 6 miles from my house!!!
It needs work but I think it is definitely usable.
The odds of this situation occurring is mind blowing. I live in a town of only around 4000 people but there still happens to be someone else in town that owns a DeLorean. And, oh by the way,...he just happens to have a good frame sitting put back. For $1000.00

Wow! That’s a great find! It looks like it’s in great shape. What repairs does the frame need?

When I pray for DeLorean frames, I like to picture my Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt. 'cause it says like, I want to be formal, but I'm here to party too.Well, I am still a bit in shock but our prayers have been answered.
