Re: [DML] DMCH New Interior

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

There are little things that can be nitpicked apart about the custom 
interior, or even the stock one for that matter. After all, this is 
something unique, and everyones' tastes are going to be different. 
However, there are two big problems that I see with it. The binnacle 
is one. I agree that the asthetics of it don't match the car (inside 
or out), and that it looks a bit too sport-compact-ish. I really get 
the feeling that someone got a bit too overzealous in trying to 
update it. In any case though, it looks way too high, and looks like 
it might cut down on visability.

The other thing that I'd have a problem with would be that strip of 
white leather on dashboard, comming up from the center console. That 
is a straight up hazzard! With the angle of the windscreen on the 
DeLorean, anything that reflects too much light is going to cause 
glare, and impare your vision. In every single photo taken of this 
car, on numerous websites, you can definetly see this. If you want to 
see what I mean, try driving your car on a very sunny day, with a 
sheet of printer paper resting on the dash.

Sure, it's a prototype, and needs tweeking for individual tastes, but 
overall, I think that the interior looks fantastic! I love the 
contrast of having a exterior with cold stainless, and sharp angles. 
But when you come inside, you've got gentle curves, with warm 
leather. A great update of the A Pillars, and really sweet revamp of 
the parcel shelf. Even though you can tell space was shaved off to 
accomodate those speakers, and the design itself, it creates the 
illusion that the space is bigger, by keeping it less cluttered than 
stock.

Has anyone yet gotten to sit in this car to try it out? Even though 
those door handles look too high to grab if you don't have long arms, 
they do look alot more ergonomic. And how does one access the fuses 
anyhow?
