If John Delorean were alive and saw your work, he would smile and give you a big hug; everything is in the detail. Congrats from Costa Rica! 💯 🇨🇷
@jacobcashen1301
That restoration reveal has been one of the most iconic ones of the channel. That car is beautifully, imperfectly perfect. You kicked butt, Alex! Max - the reveal edit was awesome! Thank you!

Hey Alex. Super fine job you're doing. On the decals, try using soapy water in a spray bottle. Spray the panel, apply decal and squeegee out the excess water along with the air bubbles. You need to keep the paper on until you finish the squeegee process. Then remove it. Decal will stay in place. When you do it this way, it's easier to manipulate the decal to where you want it. Cheers.

The DeLorean looks absolutely incredible! It's hard to believe it originally sat in a shed fir 30+ years. It looks brand new right off the line.

I hope some of these hints help. Honestly sometimes it’s sad how little people share with each other, while other times you find people who will share everything with you freely. I’ve been extremely lucky and was able to learn from some serious world class mechanics. My father being one, who was a level 5 black engineer for Boeing (that means he had top secret clearance and worked on military projects. It’s the highest engineering level and security clearance that exists). So in the same fashion that it was shared with me, I hope that some of these pieces of advice really help you greatly over the years as each one of them are basically trade secrets. While I know thousands of such tips, these were just the ones I saw on your video. But I really enjoy watching your clips. I really like that you do all the work yourself, as do I. But honestly, if you were ever looking for a second engineer, I might be highly interested. I was an aviation engineer for Boeing, but for the last 7 years since my father passed and I drastically changed my life I’ve been traveling and working abroad. I’m always looking for the next adventure. 😜

Been a sub for a few years now and this build has been epic. You have put a lot of work to get to where you are and you have motivated me to build my own cars also. Keep doing what you doing Alex.
@jombam
As an ol G subscriber, I must say this has been the most epic rebuild series... as a guy who was born and raised in Africa, we didn't know much about Deloreans except from the photos we hang on our walls.. this series is something else... thank you Alex for this... we truly appreciate you...
@Beer_Dad1975
Thanks Middle aged dude who grew up with these films. Thanks!
@MrHamlet
BTW for the fuel distributor, do NOT separate the halves. It's not necessary, and it's incredibly difficult to reseal it properly without the alignment tools. There is an O ring you're going to want to check, and is a wicked PITA to reinstall without damaging it. Clean out the injectors for sure. I can send you pictures from the manual and Bosch mechanical fuel injection manual if needed. Going to want to make sure you check the valley, underneath the intake, for coolant and deterioration.
@danmcbride6258
Congratulations. Your restoration work is astounding. What a tribute to John De Lorean and his Irish Employees that delivered on his vision. Your car literally goes back in time. Best of luck with your time capsule. Enjoy and thanks for the videos.
@Beer_Dad1975
Has to be "LSCBTF"! LOL at no brake caliper! As a 48 year old man who saw all three Back to the Future films on their first release, had Matchbox DeLorean's and plaid Back to the Future with them for hours as a kid, & even had a ride in a DeLorean when I was 15 (at the local observatory to boot - & before they became nostalgia icons - but for me even at 15, it was something I'll never forget) - all the nostalgia feels here! Really can't tell you how great this series has been! Thanks so much! I love how much you appreciate this car even though you are the "next generation" of BTTF fan - and also how much you appreciate the oddball history of DeLorean. Really wish I could take my kids trick-or-treating in your neighborhood this Halloween - but I'm a world away - and sadly, my kids are too old for it now anyway.
@TheKETNAR
Hey LSC, re: heatgun restore of plastics. I have found that if you apply the armor all plastic trim restore/conditioner first, you end up with an even better result. (I think it has something to do with locking in the chemicals that keep the plastics from drying up), this has been my go-to for old plastics for AGES, and it works great. The oldest piece I have around was restored this way 20 years ago, has never seen a garage, and still looks brand new after 20 years of weather. Give it a try sometime on a spare piece, you won't be disappointed! (note: I only ever use a heat gun.)
@LegitStreetCars
What do you think of the restoration? Would you change anything? Limited-time Buy One Get One Free Ceramic Coating Kit Deal! https://avl.kg/legitdelorean These always sell out so act fast!
@LeviewFPV
When the car is lowered in the front it's going to be a SHOW STOPPER... what a transformation Alex. You are the ONLY channel I can see for an hour straight and still enjoy the whole show. (I actually saw that missing decal part in the DMC) so you know I actually saw the whole video lol
@couchastronmers3292
Alex I think you have single-handedly re-invigorated interest back in the DeLorean DMC-12! Your passion for the restoration is unbounded and infective. What an experience this must has been from barn find to where it is now in a month or so. It was nice to see Mike and Co from Midwest DeLorean helping you so much, as well as the other businesses you spoke about. It makes me want to try and find a DeLorean where I live in Australia, but sadly this car was never sold here. Only a handful of personal imports exist and are unobtanium. I think it was around 2004, when I saw my first DeLorean close up at a small weekend car show in Chippewa Falls in the US. Actually it ended up there were 2 cars at the same event. I still remember the experience. Anyway cannot wait to see the next exciting chapter. Enjoy mate.
@LordHolley
I absolutely love YouTube. Not only are there tutorials on just about anything you'd like to do or build, but there's a lot of entertainment in there as well. It blows my mind when I run across a person who did not make a YouTube account. It's like, you're missing it! lol.
@bretc.j.3898
You can tell he LOVES LOVES LOVES this car. I wish you would restore mine with the passion you did this. I know it would last a lifetime. Thanks for all the content Alex
@jljr1998
Just a word of advice for future decals I would've done it the same way you did before I worked at a sign/wrap and decal shop including striping police cars. The easiest way to go about lining up stripes by just taping the decal to the car in a few inch spots along the top of each decal to line the decal is positioned exactly where you want it WITH THE BACKING STILL ON. Then once you go and get them lined up you can run a line of masking tape along the whole length of the decal. Then peel your backing as much as you want to work with working there edge just in case you need to fix a bubble/ wrinkle. you almost always will get a small bubble but a small pop with an exacto knife and a day in the sun you'll be set! you can use this method with any decal.
@electronash
This was one of the most rewarding car restorations I've ever watched. Just the attention to detail, the fact that you didn't cut out the small mistakes / learning experiences, etc. One of the greatest movie trilogies ever, one of the most iconic cars. Great to see people still taking care of these cars. I'm sure you'll have the engine running perfectly before Halloween. Subbed! ;)
