I bought the set of DeLorean Models (BTTF 1, 2, 3) and I decided to paint the Part 1 one as an experiment to make it black.. At first I tried grey, but since the seats etc are already grey by default that would be a little stupid. -=] When I painted it black and assembled it, I couldn't see a thing cause the underside of the roof is reflective, and the inside was pitch black.. well, almost. If you've seen pictures of the professionally painted models, you'll see how nice the blue paint looks.. This is my own opinion, and I used glossy black, I think maybe if you use flat black/grey you might get a different view. Good luck!

The meeting place is the 1996 Olympics Venue for Rowing and Kayaking that was built on the shore of Lake Lanier especially for the Olympics. Lots of space and room for 225 DeLoreans to park with their wings up.This is planned as a laid-back, non-competitive gathering of folks who just love to drive their DeLoreans and enjoy a gathering of sociable friends for a fun-filled and helpful weekend. We will have technical presentations by DMC Joe of DeLorean Services, Rob Grady of P.J. Grady, and Stephen Wynne of DMC Houston. Also, Ben Davis, a successful turbo owner will have a show and tell on his conversion. You will have the opportunity to have a technical audit of your car by one of the speakers and a chance to win or by a large variety of DeLorean memorabilia. We have gotten special rates at three good motels in the area for about $50 per night. Saturday noon is a southern Barbecue luncheon and Dinner will be a candlelight dining experience from the best restaurants in Gainesville on the Venue dock overlooking Lake Lanier. Sunday will feature a chance to take a parade lap on Road Atlanta, a renowned Grand Prix race course, prior to watching the Historic Sports Car Racing program from our own vantage point on turn 12. Go to DMCJoe's web site at www.deloreanservices.com for more information and updates on plans. Reserve the dates of Sept 25 and 26 to be in Gainesville, Ga.

We all need too thank Lee For seeing this project through and dedicating so much of his not-so-sparetime to this and many other projects he has going that benefit us. I f it wasn't for Lee I wouldn't have an original type key for my car. Because when I bought my car the original owner hadn't driven the car for 2yrs. and somehow lost the original keys and had to have a locksmith make a key from an Ilco x29 key blank. As for the keys the're exact copies of the originals including a slight flaw that all the originals have , according to Lee. Their is one improvement, these key blanks are brass not steel, the steel originals tended to rust and wear-out the lock mechanizisms. kudos, Lee Dennis, vin 5180 GULLWNG ________________________________________________________________ Get FREE voicemail, fax and email at http://voicemail.excite.com Talk online at http://voicechat.excite.com ------------------------------ message 2148 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=2148 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: "DMC Joe" Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 01:47:26 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: gear shift boot Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Brad, The original boot has a plastic frame that becomes brittle as it ages.

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Robert, The blue choice stipulated by the kit instructions will be due to them sourcing the colour from a couple of interior shots I have seen that do give off a deceptive blue hue. The hue is an illusion. All 6-7 DMC-12's modified with all the time circuits had the grey interiors. If you have access to the Tamiya acrylics I recommend the light grey and the one up also from that. Mix a little of each grey to match the interior. The seats already are grey plastic, but the sheen is not leather like, so paint all the relevant trim with your correct tone of grey. Then mix a slightly darker wash and brush that on. Carefully wipe the wash so it only remains along the stitch lines etc which will bring out the detail in the seats and other fittings. For sourcing the DMC grey interior I would recommend Travis' webpage. In my opinion it is one of the best DMC websites as for one he has used his own pictures. It has professional composed look and also has some excellent shots of his light grey interior.

The car at the Harrah's Collection in Reno is "a specially built 1982 Dodge Charger.  It is one of six that were specially built by PPG Industries in cooperation with the Chrysler Corporation to be a pace car for the CART-sanctioned PPG Indy Car World Series.  The car saw service pacing the 1982 and early 1983 races.  Its SOHC turbocharged 4 cylinder engine develops 195 horsepower out of 134.6 cu in (2.2 litre)."

Hey, you just got a preview of part of my latest Museum article for the next DeLorean World.
