Before his passing, Cliff Schmucker, was doing a study and measuring front spring compression rates to try and figure out what was going on with all of the different "nose high" vs "nose low" stock deloreans. He was starting notice only slight variations in the stock springs which then lead him to start taking measurements of the mounting areas in relation to the frame. He found more variations there than in the springs which led him to believe either it was in intentional change in how the mounts were welded or just not very accurate assembly. If true, this also might have a play in why some cars are more forward than others.
Patrick C,
Please add any additional info I may have forgotten from Cliff's studies.
Body panel alignment is another small factor to consider as well.
With under 10,000 hand built cars, not all of our glorified prototypes were created equal.![]()
