Nice catch! But it has been done, though it was a slightly newer
Delorean not a 67 Pontiac.

Great Scott!
Heavy!


Where's my spare flux capacitor?

"They" have kits now.

Ouch! 30 grand is a bit out of my price range.

My Delorean story:

Back in the late 70s I bought a used Miller TIG welder. Mid 80s I
got married and needing cash sold it. The person who bought it was
from out of state and showed up in a rental truck. (Leaving out a
bunch here) Apparently in a hurry because he initially declined my
offer of the power disconnect switch. Big ugly thing that had been
re-painted, on top of *rust*, many years before...

A few days later he changed his mind and called me back asking for
the disconnect. I said sure, and he asked if I could meet his buddy
at a local mall. Friend shows up in a Delorean! We proceeded to
stick a nasty rusty flaking paint disconnect box in the trunk of a
(then) brand new car.
