according to the DVD, the mods done to the deloreans for the first film were done my Kevin Pike (Special Effects Supervisor) and his team at universal.

Did George Barras have a hand in the design at all?

Before they chose the delorean for the time machine wasn't it going to be a refridgerator, but the creators of the film were worried that kids would get stuck in their fridges when they tried to re-enact scenes from the film? :? Big Grin

Yep, this is true. I downloaded (and read) a full draft script of the original plot and it had a refridgerator as the time machine but it also had to be placed at the site of a nuclear bomb, so Doc drove Marty to the Nevada desert where the US army were testing the atomic bomb.

I have the script knocking around somewhere on a CD. I could send it to you if you really want a read. It is very interesting as it far less family friendly as the final movie.

Regards,
