[DMCForum] Re: Seperated 1697 tonight

["erikgeerdink" <erikgeerdink@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used Pauls check list for preparing the Delorean to be lifted.  
Since my parts car was stripped down anyway and destroyed in the 
front, we didn't care much of something happened.  But for 4512 we 
already have plans drawn up and planned out for a nice, safe 
seperation.

Pics of the frame can be seen on my webpage at www.drunkonthemoon.com

I'll be adding more soon once I get them compressed a bit more.
