What have you done to your DeLorean today?

George, you didn't happen to put your suction mount on the stainless did you? That's the only reason why I would think it wouldn't stay on. I've had my suction cup on the outside of my car up to about 65mph or so. Normally I keep it inside the car. I bought mine several years ago and it came with 3m adhesive body mounts so once I get more projects completed I will likely add a gopro mount or two to the exterior of some of my cars.

Yep I tried it on the stainless. Next attempt I'll use the glass.

Better than bouncing it down I-65 at 70 mph like someone else I know. He also found out it won't stick to the stainless.

So true. I only had to walk about 100' to retrieve it. I'm just glad I didn't run over it on the way back up the hill.

You don't look anything like Alfred E Neuman. . . .

Not for over 40 years now.

Nice pic George

You must not frighten easy...

I watched David P's "Winters Drive" video and Loved it, So much that
I went out and bought a GoPro setup that I'm still trying to figure out how it works. (I've also downloaded the App).

Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the video! It was fun to make as well.

Yeah, the stainless is kind of hit or miss. I tried it out as well, didn't have issues with it falling off, but given the grain on the stainless I figured it wasn't an airtight seal. The first 40 seconds of this video show a couple shots taken near the wheel when attached to the front fender. Not as good of a video as the Winters drive, I was just playing around with a few different mounting points by driving around town.

What exactly did you plasti-dip? Do tell...
Thank you,
Professor Roy Hinkley

I didn't plasti-dip anything on my car. That's a photo that someone else had taken of my car, 'watermarked,' and posted it on Instagram, where I found it. Sorry to disappoint...

Replaced a few small sections of coolant hosing that was still rubber with silicone - such as between the front bleeder valve and radiator, between rear bleeder valve and junction, etc. Also replaced runoff hose from coolant tank with a nice long length of silicone so it doesn't piss all over frame. Also added cutoff valve for rear bleeder, tightened all hoses (already did the valley when I was back in there couple months ago), etc.

Ran her for a little while to re-test for fuel/coolant/pressure leaks from recent works.

Took my D to a recreation of the "Enchantment under the sea dance" from back to the future.

There was another delorean there. Just wanted to drive by but they invited us in for free.

Photos from the event.

Fitted SpecialT's angle drive, fitted new hood struts, was going to fit SpecialT's fuel sender unit but 'may' have fixed old one. Need to test if still not working will fit SpecialT's one.

My MaxJax car lift got delivered today (only ordered it last week!) - $2000 at Costco including shipping and lift-gate delivery (ends 31 Mar 2014). Despite having a tail lift on the truck the driver needed some 2x4s to put on the arms of his pallet truck to give it some more height (the pallet arms at full height were just slightly too low to fully lift the package (800lbs) properly). He finally got it off the truck but couldn't get it on to the driveway. So I spent another 1.5 hours in the rain unpacking the shipping frame and taking the parts separately into the garage. The largest parts (the lift columns) were probably 150-200 lbs each. I used my trolley to move them around and up into the garage.

Next comes installation

I would love to have one of these at some point but I've always been worried about the floor. How did you certify that your garage floor was of an appropriate strength to equip with the MaxJax?

Tear it up and pour a new one. Either before or after you crack the old one.

Wouldn't the specs of the garage floor be in the same file as the blueprints for the house? You can ask for those when you buy your house, I think.
