Re: the aversion to customizing?



Sorry, I could not let this one pass me by.

What's wrong with monstrosities? (Monster Deloreans in particular)
All custom Deloreans have there place, and in some cases, a purpose.

I appreciate concourse Deloreans, daily drivers, customized Deloreans
and even works in progress or damaged Deloreans. Each has a story.

I think that one of the 'aversions' that many DML members and Delorean
owners in general have with regards to comments about customizing is
that long time Delorean owners and enthusiasts have heard most of this
before but often never hear about action taken or see a finished item
that fulfills the expectation or, at least, an item or customization
that actually does what the person has set out to do.

I'm not discouraging talk and discussion, but at least make an attempt
at checking the archives before posting something that you think is a
first time post (or idea), only to find out with another post that the
list had a major thread on the same topic a few weeks or months ago.

It's nice to TALK about doing something, but it is quite another to
actually DO it. It's great to get ideas and feedback before jumping
into something, but if you say it, mean it. Follow through on it.
I applaud all the vendors who have followed through with their ideas
and improvements that have made the Delorean a better and safer car
to drive. I also applaud the vendors and others who have produced
items that make the car perform better, make it look better or just
make it more fun to own, drive and show. 

As for customizing in general, D REX was my first custom Delorean
project after refurbishing and restoring "stock" Deloreans as a hobby
for nearly 17 years. D REX is only the first of several custom
Delorean projects I intend to build (or at least start) during 2002,
but I rather have the projects do the talking for me.

Expect BIG things at the Memphis 2002 show.

See you there.
