Re: [DML] Looking for a DeLorean to be restored for museum use

Dear Larry,

Interesting to hear you have one of the training cars. I really like the
sticker. I have one that I believe was built on the temporary "Kerksite
(sp?)" exterior sheetmetal tooling. It is different in several details in
the way the metal was formed, however one striking feature is on the rear
door latch it does not have the cast aluminum guide as is standard in the
production units. It has simply a rough elongated slot cut in the metal to
allow the body latch pin to access the rear door latch. This is not simply
a matter of a missing guide casting. Does yours have the same feature? I
also do not have the vin # handy but it is close to yours.

Best Regards,
Donald L. Ekhoff
