Re: [DML] Re: Back on the Road



David,
Thanks for the help. I have all winter or longer to get the D back on
the road. I just finished a complete frame-off project on a 64 GTO.
Although the Delorean has been garage kept. I might tear into it and bring
it back to showroom condition. I enjoy this type of work. I normally
do it on the older simpler cars without all the new computer stuff. But, I
need
to learn. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions along the way. I plan
to start on it this weekend. I'm sure it will keep me busy and out
of my wife's hair. Again thanks for the help.

Randy
