Hello Emma, Curious, How did you not drill any holes in the car?... just hot glued it all on?... also I might have missed something in this thread, but how is the top cover to the back seat made?...
It was just glued with superglue 
. I made the back seat out of foam, mentioned this in another thread sorry hehe! Here is the link for it:

Thanks Emma
I dont know if this falls under back to the future merchandise or not but just curious if anyone knows if ebay is the only place to find or get the little red japan friction car as used as the wind up car seen in the movie? I keep getting sharked at the last minute every time i see one listed which is rare when it comes to the true red outside with white interior color. I didnt know if there was another website that carried them or if ebay is the only place to keep watching?
I was lucky enough to get one not too long ago and while working on it, it fell off the shop bench hitting the floor with a mighty crash and pretty much destroyed it. So I am currently looking for a new one if anyone has any leads.

So what do we use as the key. A sardine key or what??
I used a thick copper wire that I bent with pliers. Took me a few tries, but I think it's the best way to do it..
Hi All. I've been lurking in this thread but had a chance to see the item itself at the BFI last night so though I would contribute these two images of some details I've not seen very specific reference imagery for before.
The lightning rod is indeed brass tube with another wire inside it, and the base looks like a yellow pencil that has been shaved down to the end to remove the yellow. The brass rod has been inserted into yet another, wider brass tube. Thanks!
