Re: [DMCForum] Weekend Fun



A few mindless comments about Samuel's pictures:

Brake Bleed.jpg
The car is supported like I described before.  The frame is
resting on yellow pine 2x4's supported by pairs of jack
stands.  The stands are a bit close together, but I prefer
this to transferring the car's weight to the fiberglass
underbody and having the frame "hang" from the underbody.  I
prefer to use ramps (shown in pic) when possible.

Engine.jpg
Engine compartment still covered with Arizona(?) clay.
Almost never see this color dirt in Florida.  Has PJ Grady
water pump as evidenced by gold pulley.  John Hervey's fancy
silicone vacuum lines, remnants of cruise control mounted
above water pump.  A/C compressor missing pulley.  Love the
paint job on the fuel distributor.  Hey, it runs!

How not to sit.jpg
Samuel looked so funny curled up on his floorboard that I
made his brother take some photos.  That's his mom in the
background.  Nice legs. ;-)  (She won't read this, will
she?)

Improper Torque on rear.jpg
I knew this would happen.  But it's a Taiwan extension (read
"disposable").

Parts Everywhere.jpg
Samuel actually plans on driving the car looking like this.
His first priority is to make it drivable.  But I don't
think he realizes how much attention a DeLorean gets.  Then
on top of this, how much more attention is a half red
DeLorean going to get?  I suggested that if he isn't going
to strip it right away then he should at least touch up the
bare spots with some red spray paint.  Nope, he won't hear
any of that.

Stripped.jpg
Not what the name of the photo implies.  Sorry.  But that's
me under the car waiting for an earthquake.  Actually we
were replacing the clutch line.

The big bar.jpg
This is what it took to break loose the lug nuts.  I had to
stop the car from rolling forward while Samuel gave it some
muscle.

Walter.jpg
Yeah, that's me all squinty eyed from getting stoned.
Actually like Samuel said, that's a piece of paper towel,
and Wesley was supposed to photo edit some ashes & smoke.
After my computer got infected with that virus that inserted
pot smoking jokes into my e-mails, I have a reputation to
live up to.  But seriously, I never touch the stuff.  His
neighbor had to show me how to hold it properly and pretend
to take a drag.
