Speaking of modifying/replacing instrument clusters, would it be possible to 
transfer a digital dash from a different car and make it work in a DeLorean 
(assuming that the size of it is the same)? I imagine it is possible, but it 
would probably take computer modifications and a whole different setup installed 
in the car. For example, if you guys remember the Cadillac Allante, which was 
introduced in the late 80's, had a digital dash. It included (this thing is 
really cool - I saw one of these clusters a few weeks ago) digital speedometer, 
digital RPMs, and digital odometer. I've always been a fan of the digital 
cluster. Some fords of the late 80s also had them. I don't know why car companies 
stopped using them. I have seen the one posted on our group's website, but 
does it actually *work* or is it a novelty for a BTTF enthusiast? With its 
futuristic appearance from the outside, a DeLorean would definitely look great with 
the Allante's digital dash.
