DMC Molds?
#2
Hiya Scott,

firstly, what a shame that the test track is in that state - the guys over in Ireland worked
bloody hard to clear it all in time for Eurofest 2006, looks like they are gonna have their
work cut out again if Rob Lamrock can arrange for us to go back in 2011 for the 30th
Anniversary celebrations.

Those moulds look like engine blocks - Montupet who reside in the factory now make alloy
wheels and engine parts, so I would assume that they are cast offs from Montupet, as I
think the engines for the DeLorean were shipped in from France - Neal Barclay can clarify
this as he was there Big Grin

AFAIK, the majority of the body dies lay at the bottom of the Irish Sea as fishing weights, and
I did see one of the fibreglass underbody moulds at DMC Houston in 2003 - now that was a
sight to behold Smile

Hope this helps,
