The Resurrection of Vixen

Quote of the Week:
"Yeah, we've got a GSP-9700... For DeLorean wheels? Wouldn't ya' want them
hover-balanced instead?" -McKean Honda Employee

Well...

I'm still waiting for Dave Bauerle to finish up my body panels. He's had them since September, so those five small dents should be repaired any day now. With all the other DeLoreans at his shop, I'm surprised that he's had the time to get them done at all. Luckily, he's been putting in some overtime hours to get them done for me. When they get back, I'm going to buy a small stainless surface refinisher to brush them into shape.

Other than that, the only thing I've done is paint the luggage compartment with Duplicolor spray-on truck bed liner. The color match is perfect, and makes a nice semi-gloss pebbled finish. Looks great, and it's tougher than nails.

I did track down the nice Hunter GSP-9700 wheel balancing machine in my area. The machine told me that one recently refinished rear wheel was way out of specs, so I picked up a used one from Darryl Tinnerstet. I brought that one down to be refinished, but haven't heard anything from them in two months. People move slowly in the winter I guess.

Left to go:

1) Bolt on body
2) Glue in glass
3) Install interior

So close, yet so far...

Big exciting update, eh?
