Re: Sunstar model questions & remarks

["Lowery, Dennis [C]" <loweryd@xxxx>]

Well I didn't make a vin plate.....but I did make a license plate. 

I went to my state's (Virginia) DMV website where they let you make sample
plates in any style that you wish. I made an image of my actual Va license
plate. then reduced it to the appropriate size, printed it on a color
printer, laminated it, cut it out and using a little piece of two sided tape
stuck it in the frame on the rear of the model. 

It looks great and really surprises people when they examine my new model.

I don't know if all states offer this ability but if yours does and you've
got too much time on your hands like I did that day, give it a try..I think
you'll like it too.

Good catches, Walt! Also not stock is the coolant auto-bleed hose (a la DMC
Joe's "Overheat Protector" kit). The dash is interesting, too. It appears
to have some stuck gauges, and all the warning lights are lit up.

Don't get me wrong, the model is really great and the "problems" are minor.
I've got the same passenger door issue that many others have, plus my gas
pedal is bent over the top of the other pedals. But that stuff's minor
considering how cool it is to finally have a little "Mini Me" of my
DeLorean!

Anybody want to make me a teeny tiny VIN plate with 6681 on it? :-)
