Nice work - that steering looks great.

Just be careful that no one with big, clumsy fingers breaks the steering wheel off while playing with the steering. (For that reason, I eventually opted to not connect the steering on my Roadster last year, although all of the bits were in place.)

cheers Hermit, I will absolutely...few mods to be done to secure system in place for more strength...although, I think first thing that might break in entire steering system is steering wheel as it's very delicate piece, my magic glue does the job and it's super strong, but having said anyone can break anything in the end of the day haha

That steering mechanism is simply awesome.....well done!!!

cool, thanks crowie...very simple and primitive...but does the job and that's the main thing

Now that's impressive!! I hope you didn't have to pinch your sons truck for the lights but what the heck, they do look extra good in the Delorean...

for past few days there was good few trials and errors on front lights. Wanted to get best possible result of the looks of the front lights.
So here it goes...
Started with this, my good old friend Arthur Guinness came in to workshop to give us a hand on project

it got cut in pieces

made some clever tool

did some mirror shine polishing

used my new cool tool and hammer to make some cool stuff

and I have shiny reflectors for my lights

looking good

time paint background black


clear plastic saved from flowers used for glass imitation...lines cut with paper knife

vola, 2 lights done so far

will be adding another cool feature

here's lights in action with dimming control

[silverlux]

both lights in

before wiring front lights need to sort out trunk for space
first panel goes in

back wall of trunk goes in

sides

and floor...with correctly positioned spare wheel space...front wall to be added...all to be primed and painted in glossy black paint

and few more details to be added

[Hermit]

Boy, it's really coming together now. Looking great. Love those lights.

wanted to add small detail to trunk from this piece

carved into this

it became into this

painted

watching the looks of new inlay, looks and feels cool, will go for it

end result, will be perfect place for storage

and in place, looking good

over past couple of days managed to add 4 coats of special amber yacht varnish to most parts of body to enhance and protect body, except doors for this moment.

Are you going to do a short video of it for everyone with lights on, looking front sides, back corners, underneath and on top....
I'm sure you'll have the "Delorean" enthusiasts from around the world lining up to have a look...
VERY WELL DONE!!!!!
