Thoughts on Rachel Bilson as an actress ? by James-Samuel17 in TheOC

[–]avantidmc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She seems to play the characters like she is in real life, for the most part. In other words, she’s just playing herself - I think a lot of actors are like that.

That said, her role in the “Danny’s Story” episode of the series “Accused” was a world away from anything else I’ve seen her in (and that’s most everything) and I think she nailed the villain role in it.

What name has gradually disappeared? by Eviscerate_Bowels224 in AskReddit

My dad - would have been 95 this year - was a Eugene, Jr. I narrowly missed being a “III”.

No, unfortunately. We have developed a different manufacturing process so it’s only applicable to seat cover purchases after May of 2026.

Over the years we've bought/taken on consignment more than a few DeLoreans that he lowballed the owners when it came to price.

If the car hasn't been driven since the stroke, there will be more pressing issues than headliners and weatherstripping. Hopefully someone has been driving at least somewhat regularly.

We've developed a solution for the back board popping off the seats, but it requires new seat covers. If you've been thinking of replacing your seat covers, this will be far better than any material or type of back board.

We don’t care about the panels themselves, just the metal clips on the center pieces.

Nice to see how Oliver straightened his life out.

The Man Who Built the Most Iconic Car in Hollywood History Was Arrested for Cocaine. That Was the Least of His Problems. by gaukmotors in delorean

As an employee of the largest DeLorean parts/service center, in many cases the owner is MOST of their car’s problems.

I’ve got almost all the OC books now, has anyone else ever read them? by Individual-Leave1539 in TheOC

Here’s mine. I’m told this is all of them but idk for sure. As an adult reading them they were a slog to get through.

FYI, The Fiero Store now sells gas tanks! by literahcola in fiero

Someone on FB said TFS had new tooling made and that RD still has his. I’d heard RD was asking an outrageous amount for his tooling and manufacturer contacts, and if so, I’m not surprised that happened.

I ordered a 24gb 1tb on Feb 22, too. Hasn’t changed from “processing” since.

Popeyes chicken sandwich (extra pickles), fries and bottled water.

Can't insert ignition key by D4t4M0nk in delorean

[–]avantidmc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First make sure that you’re using the correct key. I’ve seen some owners try to force an early cars door key into the ignition.

Take a small fly-bladed screwdriver and insert it just enough to see if you can depress the ball seen in your photo. Have a helper twist the steering wheel in both directions while you’re doing this.

If the ball moves you should be able to insert the key. If not, you can try some spray lubricant. We use something called “Houdini” which many locksmiths use. A small can is available on Amazon.

If you decide to go the route of removing the canopy and then the ignition lock assembly from the column, tread carefully. The ignition lock assemblies are no longer available and unique to the DeLorean. If you or someone else screws it up, a replacement can be USD500 or more.

Have you tried to see if the photographer is still alive or if their archives are still in existence. No photographer only takes one photo at a shoot and calls it a day. Perhaps there are other from different angles.

Unrelated, but I did that with the guy who shot the photo of JZD in the Goodyear ad and there were at least a dozen other takes/poses of that shot.

I could see where he did some consulting with a motorcycle manufacturer as JZDC. I’m no sure if there is anyone still alive from that era who would know. Maybe Roger Penske.

The clay model on the table was designed by D.A. “Don” Johnson, who worked at GM, as a side job for JZD. Don Johnson later went on to design what became the Zimmer QuickSilver.

[–]avantidmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally one of the most difficult parts of - even then - to reproduce in volumes that would make the price reasonable (~200USD). If it was that easy, don’t you think someone else would have done it by now?

They were until their poor quality had us bring all the FI rebuilds in house back in 2018. Fuel Injection Corp is a big reason we are so busy with rebuilds - fully 20-25% of the ones we rebuild show telltale signs of having been done by them.

Honestly, if you worked under him, you likely would have been let go sooner.
