Subject: RE: vendors
>>I do not consider Marty, Darryl or any other owner not solely in the
parts business to be a "vendor".<<
Excuse me? I have been selling new and used DeLorean parts worldwide for
over 16 years, even before there was a "DMC Houston". But I live in a
community of 1500, many miles from the next DeLorean, and trying to run a
full-time exclusively DeLorean repair shop is not very feasible. I wish
it was, but frankly I'd rather be here, doing mail order, than living in
LA, Houston, or even Seattle. I manufacture and sell parts no one else
has, like door opener kits, waterpump pulleys, braided stainless speedo
cables, and engine cover support slides. How do you figure that makes me
not a vendor? How many other "vendors" spent their most recent Sunday
installing their products, in this case window motors and a new window,
FOR FREE??? Where do you get off making a statement like that?
>>Darryl's door system is a good design.... My system costs less because
it has a lower parts count (no actuator mounting brackets for example)<<
You know, its comments like that from someone who next admits "Although I
have never seen one..." that just frost my cookies. Since these comments
were unsigned I don't know who made them, but it appears to be one more
case of someone making negative comments about a product they have never
even seen, much less purchased. Not to be too picky, but my remote door
system does NOT use actuator mounting brackets. If you had purchased one
you would know that the actuators require only the drilling of two small
holes, which are covered by the upper door panel. Its that simplicity of
design and function which has made it unique for over 10 years now. That,
and the fact that no one else sells such a kit, last I heard.
But then I'm not really a vendor, so what do I know.

Subject: Re: "Resurrected Barn Relic"
I am very interested in this car because I'm "resurrecting" what was
considered a hopeless DMC (almost went into the crusher).
Please e-mail or post more headlight treatment details & rim info
(done by a tire shop?), or contact info for the red car's owner. I
would be very grateful, and hopefully we can help each other out by
comparing notes!
I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find headlamps to swap out.
Currently, the closest fit I've found are the 1990 Chevy Silverado
headlamps. I wanted to go with 90's Honda Accord aftermarkets that
had "Angel Eyes" (like the new BMW's)... the front of the lamp body
is flat, but the projectors are angled which would have made my
DMC "cross-eyed" :(

Subject: DeLorean in Savannah?
I had been on the list for a few weeks rekindling my DeLorean dream when
what do I see in Savannah, a 'D'. I want to say thank you to whoever was
driving when I drove up next to him all googly eyed. You were very
professional and didn't just ignore me. Thank you for that. To see a
DeLorean up close in the flesh just reinforced the dream. You are
probably in Memphis right now. Are you local in Sav or just passing
through. I saw you as you were crossing Abercorn (204) on King George
Blvd. from the Piggly Wiggly side (just in case there was more than one
crazy nut saying hello, which I'm sure there was). Thanx again, as it
was good to see a kind and humble driver giving you guys a good reputation
as DeLorean drivers. You may email me directly at mike(at)ninja.net.

Subject: Parts Help
I unfortunately have bent the upper and lower control arms on the
front right side of my D. If anyone knows of anyone who might have
a set of these that they are willing to part with I would be
interesting in talking to them about selling them.
Please email me privately if you have any information. Thank you
for your time

Subject: Re: Shocks .
I recieved 2 Dayton 1L708 1 and 3/4 inch steel shaft collars from Grainger
today. They fit the rear Monroe / Napa lower shock bodies
perfectly....I'll
be using them to install a pair of Sensa Track units this weekend. The
options made available for rear shocks with these collars available in so
many different sizes should be all you need to install Koni's KYB's
etc....

<< 've done some more research. The big problem with rear shocks on the
Delorean is the need for a collar to go around the lower shock body to
support the lower coil spring seat. Well if you look in the current
Grainger
catalog on page 365 , you'll see two piece steel and stainless steel clamp
style shaft collars. The Monroe Napa unit has a 1 and 3/4 inch lower shock
body outside diameter. The clamp you can get from Grainger would be the 2
piece IL708 in steel or the 2 piece IL727 in stainless. >>

Subject: Key Copies
Has anyone found a place that makes delorean key copies?
I tried HomeDepot and Ace Hardware and both places don't have the
right machine to make a delorean key. I know PJGrady sells delorean
key blanks, but they wont do me any good if i cant get them etched.
Thanks,
Adam

Subject: DMC for sale: possibly the most beautiful Black DMC I've seen!
Normally I don't "pimp" cars, but if I had the extra cash I'd buy
this DMC. It is just plain beautiful (in my humble opinion).

(my fav photo, with other exotics next to it like any good supercar
should:

Please, someone local buy this DMC so I can come over & salivate over
it! Heheee :)

Subject: RE: Memphis Update
I'm uploading a lot of pictures to the www.DeloreanCarShow.com website
via a dialup connection in my room at the Heartbreak Hotel. Wish me
luck!
When I get back to Kirkland Washington (in about a week) I will be
uploading even more, and will be able to optimize them better and
annotate them.
Meanwhile, I'm having too much fun!!!!!
