Too many toys around here .... We're all in that boat mate. All wives/girlfriends think we're nuts. Live wit it

Some more pix! I was working on it this weekend. I just got an over head array in from bfcoulombe, looks great, lights up and there are all sorts of different light patterns. Got that installed. Still working on the interior rear bulk head it is shaping up, but I need to shift the panels over to the driver's side, I don't have enough room left for the corner panel behind the driver's seat. The next big electrical project is the light bar behind the driver's seat. I might tackle the actual building of the unit and get someone to wire it up.
I installed the rear flux boxes today, the original cars they cut the exhaust pipes and routed the exhaust to the front of the rear wheels. I am not going through that trouble however.
For the exterior rear bulkhead I am not removing the glass, to be film accurate, the glass should be removed, however, I don't want water leaks back there and don't really think leaving the glass in will hamper my car in anyway. I have thin AL sheeting that I am going to glue into place and attach some odds and ends on.
For Rusty, I am still waiting for word back about the exhaust vents and the flux boxes, I am still waiting to hear back for the final details on my vents.
Well that is all for now for this project. My wife thought I was crazy at first, but when she first saw one of the rear sides with all the capacitors and wires on it, she said it was cool. Once I put the interior pieces in and started to light them up, she really loves the car now! Thank goodness for a wife who understands (or maybe she understands she doesn't have to put up with me while I work on the car for hours

One photo today. This weekend I worked on installing some more wiring harnesses in the interior and got the flux boxes mounted to the fenders. Used the preexisting holes and put studs in the back of the boxes, worked well. I played with some conduit some more, still hate bending that stuff, but hopefully after more practices I will get the hang of it. Anyway got the main wiring harness that runs along the driver's side assembled. Just need some adel clamps and a pipe for under the driver's door and I will be good to go on that side.

Hello all, made a lot of progress on small bits that add up slowly to the car. As for some photo up dates here a few. Got a good little alarm clock (you would be amazed how small those are!) and a time display box that is a light box which I can change the dates. The original cars never had any details behind the seats. I found a few odds and ends and decided to make some of my own details. Behind the driver's seat I used a panel from an old sun emissions machine, now with the magic of dymo its the DeLorean's exhaust analyzer with a changeable filter.
Today I finished the exterior rear bulkhead panels. They are secured now and I used strips where the panels join, has a much cleaner look and it keeps the panels shimed more. I used some adhesive on the back of the panels where they are touching the glass and then with some brackets on the top and bottom to press the metal sheets closer to the glass.
Thought I would share my progess.

| Last week I made a lot of measurements off of photos of the real cars and compared them to my car to get a scale and rough idea for the size of the vents. I decided to make my own set for now, might get one of my friends to make some more "heavy" duty verisions. Been working on making the vents for the last 7 hours, paint and primer is drying so I figured I would post some pixs!

| Got some painted vents! Put them on the car today to start to plan the rest of the back deck for the Mr. Fusion. Still have some tweaking of the rear fins and more painting to do, but its starting to look like something Doc Brown would have built. Enjoy.
