Rich, why do you say think I am "slamming"? I never slammed anyone or pointed fingers. I know you are working on these, and so is Eric, and Don and ton of other people. I don't get the animosity. All I did was point out some of the other inaccuracies as compared to the movie version that I have seen on very expensive Flux's. I just spent a lot of money on one that is good, but not screen correct. It has the right box, but no real TORR9 relays, or the correct chase sequence... etc. All I did was mention the methods in how I would build mine. Please re-read my post, and you will find that is not negative towards any one person, especially not to Don and his parts. I did not order my flux from Don - I got it from another source on the net. My reason for not using the actual Stahlin enclosure is because it is too large, and too expensive. I will also not use the actual relays, but casted versions that will look exactly the same but will not be genuine functional vacuum relays. This will keep the costs down so the average joe can get one. However if someone wants one to be used in a full BTTF reproduction car I can make one that will be EXACTLY as the one used in the film, but the price will be doubled due to parts costs. Again, I don't feel my post was negative at all. I have no idea how anyone in particular builds their Flux's, I have never seen yours, Eric's, Don's or anyone else's except for random photos I have found on the net and the few that float across eBay. I hope you don't feel I am slamming you or creating a competition threat. Let's face it Rich, you and I as well as Don and the others make a good living on our own. We are not going to get wealthy selling these.... I would be surprised to break even! Good luck.
