Oh, this one was full of surprises Robert! Thanks for your kind comment. David G.

Soon. I have it cleaned up and the final photos shot, I plan on editing them today. David G.

Well worth the effort, it turned out great! David G.

Nice paint fade, rust and weathering! That's a tricky kit to build well, I seriously considered doing something like this with the one I built a few years back. David G.

Thank you Will! It's pretty much done, I just have to wrap up a few details and shoot the final photos. David G.

I built one of these kits a while back and I thoroughly enjoyed the build. It looks like you have a great start on this one Jim. David G.

Fabulous work on these Len! It's nice seeing them both finished. I remember following along with you on the WIPs, seeing all the work you put into each. Well done! David G.

Clean and tight! Great color and excellent overall build! David G.

No worries, I sometimes have trouble reading a situation and have inadvertently offended with an innocently intended comment. Just checking. I think getting rid of the console is a good call Jim. Of course you could build a power control console like I did for my '58 Chevy Proton! Cheers! David G.

To me it means, "I'm taking the time to share my opinion with you but I won't judge you if you choose a different option. As I have no idea what your intentions are and I've seen people come up with some pretty amazing things that I never would have thought of myself." Have I been using it wrong all these years? ? But in any case, yeah that green stuff was kind of what I was thinking. I'm interested to see how you put it to use. David G.

It's coming along quite nicely. David G.

Hello Everybody! The work continues! I got the body and chassis permanently assembled. The trunk and hood are both held in place, captured by the interior. When the interior was in the proper location in the body shell there was an almost 2mm gap between the body and trunk lid at the front. I neglected to get photos of this as I was focused on solving the unexpected problem. There were two steps I used to correct this. First I did a little filing of the hinge location points on the interior's rear package shelf to allow the hinges to settle a little farther forward. Next, I used some hot water to heat and bend the hinges closing their arc just a little effectively shortening them. This allowed the trunk lit to move a little closer to where it should be. I also used some speaker cloth to add a little screen to the openings in the hood scoop. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post any comments you may wish to share. David G.

The body work looks great in primer Jim! If I were going to use the diamond-tufted console, I'd also try to get some tufting elsewhere in the cabin- the seat cushions, rear cabin wall or door panels. Something like that. But that's just me. David G.

A good choice for the interior color! David G.

It's even prettier in sunlight! David G.

Nice work on the hood pin details! It's the little things that can make some of the biggest differences. David G.

Nice to see that it's still there! David G.

That's a nice color and the paint looks good. David G.

Thanks. -D-

Impressive work, that! -D-

No need for apologies David, please take care of yourself first my friend. Thanks for letting us know. I hope you feel better soon. David G.

It's better.... The page loads as it should more often than not. But sometimes I can go to the kitchen and grab a cup of coffee while I wait for the page to load. David G.

That's the challenge with these DeLorean kits, the metallic finish. Which is about the only reason I like the Polar Lights versions. They have a good pre-painted metallic finish. Other than that, they're rather toy-like. Though it seems that the BMF technique will yield good results the thought of applying BMF to an entire car body is uh... daunting to say the least. David G.

And that's what model building is all about! It's like I say in my signature line: "Model builders, we're problem solvers who create our own problems to solve!" The headers look great Daniel! Just the right amount of weathering. David G.

Nice wrap-up on the engine bay Donald. The PE looks great too. A cool idea for the antenna, where does one find such things? I know that medical supply vendors are often careful as to what they provide to whom. I may still be on the list with Southland Medical but I'm not sure if they carry the cath tubing. I know that Dodge doesn't. Awesome build though! David G.
