To be honest and never was a great fan of the movie. I liked it, don't get me wrong. But what that movie left me wishing back in 1985, was to buy a skateboard instead of to own a time machine.
I love the De Lorean's stock look. The BTTF replica is a gig. And I may be too embarrassed at the end of the day to drive that around looking like an outdated spaceship or geekish star trek fan.
So this for me is more of a fun thing to make rather than to own. That is why I wish to make it hybrid. Create a 20 minute mount on and off conversion set. I have several ideas already designed in my mind.
If I turn out to flop the whole idea, I'll just sell the props separately. No harm done:smile:
Nough talk.
Here is what I have created so far:
TFD switch: Made the handle fit the drum switch, created a custom plexiglass curved cover as well as a laser printed label sticker.
Mr. Fusion: Bought the Krupps grinder in yellow from Germany, painted it white, removed and sold its guts. Then created my own Mr. Fusion stickers.
The rowan contractors: Bough a 70 Amps set, polished it up painted the heads red.
The Flux capacitor: With a little help tarraa
Plutonium Gauges: Bough regular Amp and Vol gauges... changed the labels
In the mean time I have all the overhead switches ready and I am picking up the bases for it. Also custom made the TFD switch base.
Also have ready the led flux bands.
And of course the JVC VHS cam:giddy:
More coming soon...
to raise my Delorean Restoration funds:)
