In the second movie the time machine's "time circuits" got destroyed by a lightning strike and ultimately had to be replaced by vacuum tubes and other various 1955 electronic components. which were strapped to the hood. Viewed: 145 times.

All the electrical do-dads are nicely rendered. Viewed: 128 times.

When they replaced the time circuits in 1955 they also needed to replace the tires for reasons too convoluted for me to explain here. For a brief spell the Delorean wore whitewall tires and red steel rims. In 1855 the tires were replaced with RR wheels. Viewed: 133 times.
|
These custom RR wheels were machined from brass. In the film the wheels had straight spokes but Eric settled for round holes due to the difficulty of making straight spoke wheels. The chassis of this model underwent some serious cutting to fit these wheels. Viewed: 152 times.
