DMC Headquarters Visit

This week I had to fly to Houston to visit one of my clients for work. When I got there, I looked up Humble, TX online to see how close the DMC Houston location was, and found out that it is just a few miles away from the airport. After all my meetings finished, I had my client drive me to the headquarters in Humble and had the opportunity to meet some of the guys that work there. This is me outside the facilities:
 

I am in the market for a new dashboard, and James Espey was kind enough to show me the new plastic ones that DMCH has made to replace the old, cracked dashboards that are found in so many DeLoreans now. My dashboard is actually in decent shape. It only has one crack that goes from the glove box up to the windshield. Here is what the crack looks like:
 
I had see mixed reviews of the DMCH replacement dashboards, but after seeing them in person and actually installed in a DeLorean that was at the shop, I am confident that I am going to get one from them in the future rather than repairing and recovering the original. The only cons for the new one is that it doesn't deaden the sound of the windshield wiper motor as well and that you have to be careful while installing it so you don't bend the plastic because it can discolor.

The DMC headquarters was very impressive. I've never seen so many DeLoreans in my life, especially since I had only seen about five or six in person before that day. The first thing that I saw when we pulled in was a line of cars that all were DeLoreans. Here's a picture of my client by all the cars lined up:
 
I never thought that I'd go to Houston, let alone have the opportunity to visit the DMCH facility. It was so educational and I can't wait for the opportunity to go back and spend more time. I had to catch my flight back home and was there for less than 30 minutes.
