History of Fiberglass panels

["Erik Geerdink" <delorean502@xxxx>]

I e-mailed the owner and this is what he said

Erik, 

I collect TV/Movie cars & related items ... I got these panels 
in a 
large 
lot of stuff I purchased a couple of years back when I was out in 
California. 

To make a long story short, it's most likely (given where I got 
them) 
that 
these were spare parts for the "Back To The Future" DeLorean. In 
scenes 
where vehicles are destroyed (like the train track scene in 
BTTF), 
movie 
companies dont prefer to trash a "real" car, so they build mock-
ups & 
the 
like, and/or replace damaged parts with less expensive (like 
fiberglass) 
parts. These partictular panels appear to be in new/unused 
condition. 

I also have an entire fiberglass front nose section for a 
DeLorean 
here 
too ... it too was in with that same stuff. (And there's likely 
more if 
I really 
ever take the time to go thru it all. :-)
