Mall displays can make you a few bucks but you have to stay and guard the car. I rented my shop out to Warner Brothers for a movie with Al Pacino, they paid me $2500 for the day and I got to keep the shop open and go on with business. I normally left at 3:00 but they wanted my van in a shoot and offered me another $500 if I would stay 'til 5:30...I did.

What does your handle look like? Mine for my '82 is shaped like a long Ford Model T crank handle, and on paper I've seen '81's with a ratchet that fits over a stub. But there also seems to have been a non-ratchet lever type with a rod handle and a "lollipop" end that fit over the stub, kind of like a closed end wrench. I'm wondering if you, or anybody on the list, has one of them. Off the top of my head, I don't think that's addressed in the DMC Houston Concours Manual either. Only place I've seen it is on a very early parts book. I wonder if those even made it into production? Seems like a really hard way to crank up a car. Any comment, List members? Anybody got one of these? Wayne A.

I see a nut at the bottom of the unit (under the filter screen) but it seems to be frozen on. As I try turning it I can see something turning with it inside the unit. I want to get in there to repair it as I can't dish out the dough at this time for the Zilla unit. Any hints?? I know that people will say that it may not last and may die in a year but that's the whole plan. I just need it to last just enough time so I can raise the cash for the Tankzilla. Also: has anyone, with a manual tranny Delorean, had problems with their transmission mounts? I'm talking about the ones that bolt directly to the transmission. I have stress cracks on mine and it appears to have been repaired before. It's not cracking where the repair was made but in different areas. It looks like, on mine anyway, that it's common?? Looks like I am going to have to try and reinforce these mounts. On another note, My restoration of 3365 is going smoothly so far, I have the frame back under the body and have the rear suspension fully assembled. The front is partially together and I have most of the cooling system in. Hopefully by next weekend I will be installing my engine/tranny and begin my adventure with the "rat nest" of wires and hoses in the engine compartment.
