I finished the DeLorean! Check this out! ua-cam.com/video/DsAxVt94sb8/v-deo.html
Celebrating my 30th year of DeLorean ownership, been to many different DeLorean events, including a trip to the original factory in N. Ireland for the DeLorean Owners Association Eurofest celebration, and this by far is the best restoration series I've seen in my years of ownership. Just a lot of fun and great stuff.
Nobod ever comments on Max's editing, but if it wasn't for the unique way Max edita, this channel would not be what it is. He literally makes this channel have the unique feel that it does with Alex's speech always being tight and no pauses, plus the way Alex delivers a quip or missive and then a rapid cut away. Thats the style max delivers.
People do. It is appreciated! He is great (if not amazing). He keeps growing creatively.
I’m pretty sure Alex does most of the editing!
@@SuzukiKid400 Alex will literally say "save that for the bloopers, Max" in the videos.
Alex, yet again brother, you just make the cleanest, most squared away content on the tubes. All of your stuff looks like it was done by a huge production company yet has the honesty and feel of a single, passionate, guy, sharing his love of cars with his buddies. I feel like I have known you for years as I’ve been watching your work almost as long as you’ve been producing it. This was a great learning experience. I’ve never seen this entire process start to finish. Thanks again for sharing your passion with us. See you next week.
Don't forget about Max, Alex's long-time collaborator & friend....who does filming & ALL of the editing....
@@richsmith9063 oh no. I would never exclude Max. I was simply referring to the fact that Alex maintains complete control of his content and makes the decisions about how it’s presented.
I was lucky enough to visit LSC with Mike from DeLorean Midwest and I was AMAZED with how good the car looked after Ice Blasting. The interior, body, and underside of this DeLorean probably look better than it did new.
It’s an amazing restoration. Great job Alex
Great to get a first hand account, was Alex as funny as he is on videos in person 👍🏻😂
He’s a great UA-camr ! I always enjoy his videos
Exactly what you would expect.
I worked at a place that used dry ice cleaners. We would always degrease first and pressure wash. It would nearly eliminate splatter onto already cleaned areas. We also degreased and rinsed afterwards. We would go through 6-10 totes of dry ice per week with 3 blasters.
That doesn't sound like a lot.
@@jwalster9412 he just spent 2 days using one tote with one blaster.
We didn’t use co2 on everything, but did use each blaster a few hours a day. It was enough for a profitable operation. They were in different locations so it was smarter to have 3 then it was to move the blasters or the stuff we were cleaning.
@@rydplrs71why dry ice over just a pressure washer? Looks like it did a similar job
@@williambell7763the ice is penetrating from the top in. Removing any lighter things with a degreaser and pressure washer speeds up the ice blasting process. The pressure washer and degreaser didn’t come close to what the dry ice machine did lol
Literally laughed out loud when I saw the wig. All in on the DeLorean .
Thanks brother!
Literally?!
@@madmax82988yep
what ios version is the delorean running on
@@owui7323 It was called Logo, found on the Commodore 64 at the time.
There’s no question, when this build is done, you will have the most incredible Delorean EVER!
Probably better than new
Well, whatever mistakes you make, you can always go back in time to correct them. Just make sure you have access to 1.21 gigawatts 😂
clever
Boogered up spots or not, the decision to go the dry ice route was definitely money well spent! She cleaned up really nice under there and, although you found a little rust (that's evidently repairable), that's a super nice undercarriage for a 40 year old car! I also wanted to thank you Alex & Max for the merch that was sent to me! I'm so grateful and I do appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! Until next week.... MLAR (much love and respect) 💙🙏🏼
Disassembly…so satisfying! Remembering where it all goes back is my challenge!! I love watching you do it all!!
Love the DeLorean series! Awesome to see you go all out in this dream restoration.
Really appreciate the amount of efforts Alex is putting in these videos and the series is coming around quite well. With it's stainless steel + fiber body so many different things to see here.
donations are deductible... for the donors... Less than 40 percent of the donations go to research. The top executives of the foundation make hundreds of thousands in income and since it's inception we are not as close to a cure as we were before. We have funded the machine that is big pharma and we are no closer to a cure. This is a grift. Donate to people not organizations. You'll get more from giving to ppl suffering than giving to an org that gives tax breaks.
The Jimmy V Foundation does direct investment in Cancer research. 95% to cancer research
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Alex, I SOOO appreciate your attention to detail and the lengths that you go to, especially in this restoration. Your humor and comments during the work add a "next door neighbor and buddy" quality to the videos. I always watch to the end for the outtakes. Lol! 😂 Well done! Very well done! As Always, May God Bless you and yours!
I'll admit, I have been busy and not able to watch. Very, VERY satisfying to watch. Just watch it all go away... Very, Very satisfying.
Reminds me, I will be doing my own break job this weekend on my car, all 4.... might as well.
And I wish we could kill breast cancer forever. No woman should go through that.
Such interesting content and excellent production quality. I'm always bummed when the end of a video is coming and chomping at the bit with anticipation for the next video. Thanks so much for doing what you do.
Awesome transformation alex i think the frame will not be an issue and get fixed excited for the next video and seeing the suspension and engine finished up
Alex, I'm so impressed with your temperament, attitude and patience. If I were doing one tenth of this work I'd be cussing and throwing tantrums in private 😂.
When working on these older cars you either have to have patience or they quickly teach you to have some.
I can't believe you are taking the DeLorean to this level before Halloween. You are a determined man.
He is really the hardest working car guy on UTube. Like all of us just a week of working. Respect.
@17:11 "That could fester hatred and anger"
See "Hoovie" and "Buried vehicles in my yard".
i appreciate your content , no extra hype just good content.
I wish there were 3 of you so you could pump out Delorean content faster 😂 absolutely loving this series can’t wait to see it all finished!
Wow nice work, it’s looking amazing! Can’t wait to see what you accomplish in the next video but you’re doing a phenomenal job!
Great work! The car is coming along really nice. Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next one.
Doc traveled back to the future to do the intro of Alex' video! Awesome!
Special thanks to Jason and crew. Those guys rock. Alex the car looks awesome. See you on Halloween.
I love the outtakes at the end. It shows just how much effort and dedication you put in to these videos. Great job Alex.
I have done a lot of regular sand blasting, and a little media blasting, but this is the first time I have seen dry ice blasting in action. It looks like it was money well spent because it showed you some problem areas that you can fix before they become a major issue.
Loving the vids keep them coming !
I watch this channel all the time and because of you ive done the same thing to my car, i just got done replacing the suspension with coil overs, rack, control arm, tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearing, ect ect just because i like the car i have. To see how much harder/similar it is to this (its a 20 year difference to my 99 es300) makes me very happy that my undertaking got done and i have a basically new car that i built MYSELF instead of buying. Even if its not some high HP thing i dont got that money
Love the 99 es 300❤
Wow, what a progress! I’m very curious to see them restore the frame also ! Great job done Alex! 👍😀
I appreciate that you keep your shop clean and organized. That saves sooooo much time in the long-run because you know where all your tools are.
The restoration of that car is going great! I hope you make your deadline.
Wow so impressed of the difference the dry ice did looks so good! You’ll get it done Alex!
I love that you are doing this!!!
Alex, You're so genuine. Happy this is all working out for ya.
Enjoying this series so much, I've loved DeLoreans since I was little and you restoring this one makes me excited! Plus I had to order your new merch 😂
for stuck tie rods, instead of whacking the bolt with a nut on it, hit the side of the knuckle where it threads through and it will pop right out.
right after making the comment i see you do the same thing i meant after you cut the castle nuts off. lol good job man
I was cringing at this myself! If you intend to reuse the ball joint NEVER smack it with a hammer. Hit the spindle or use the ball joint tool like he used on the spindle to pop it loose if a hammer doesn't do the trick. You can also use the tension of the suspension spring if you put the nut on the spindle and put a jack under the control arm and whack the spindle to pop it loose. This trick works great on G body and S-truck suspensions.
Alex the dry ice is the ticket! An amazing transformation on the frame & underside of the DeLorean! Once you get the frame fixed, the new suspension & brake upgrades this DeLorean will be amazing! About as close to going back in time as you will be able to do! In order to get to Back to the Future speeds consider an LS swap on the DeLorean after you have done all the stock content you can! That would give you a whole new round of amazing content for those of us who would like to see you take it to a higher level!
I'm currently sweeping a road here in Dublin, Ireland. Because that's how exciting my life is. Anyway, on a coffee break and hoped there would be a cool video to watch.. and here I am! Nice one!
Thank you for having us Alex! It was a * blast * 😂 Dry Ice Blasting is incredibly satisfying to do and watch.
One correction I did want to make, the machine ( Karcher IB 7/40 is $24,499 ) not 40k. The air compressor we used is around that price point. Not cheap but a little bit more affordable lol
Look forward to Saturday mornings just for these videos.
Dry Ice Blasting, GREAT SCOTT! 🤯
Also, I was really surprised these guys showed up with a Kärcher, a brand that is very common here in central EU :D.
I appreciate you looking into a local Dry Ice Blaster Supplier to use on your beloved DeLorean. .I don’t know if you did contact Rebuild Rescue to speak to Jason to learn more about Dry Ice Blasting.
When I suggested it to you, I was convinced that the results would take your Car back in time! Your results are extraordinary.
One of thee most satisfying video I've seen on your channel.😍 That dry ice is so freshes so clean clean! 😅 Great video!
Even though you're replacing the suspension parts, if you were to clean them to perfection, laser cleaning cleans even better than dry ice. It's perfect for things like those control arms. It removes rust perfectly as well.
I'd suggest reading up on The Komen foundation. Less than 20% of the money goes to anything cancer related. There are far better charities that actually help people.
Yep, they are a bunch of scamming liars
Agreed
Most charities are like this.
Not just that, they have aggressively gone after other charities that use a “pink” anywhere close to theirs for breast cancer. The Komen foundation is a cancer.
Easy. He’s trying to do something good.
I've watched pretty much all of your projects start to finish but this one is my absolute favourite.
This is a great series . I really like how far you go to making them perfect
Lol , G'luck putting all those washers back on.. I think had DeLorean just used correct length bolts they'd probably be in business still.
This is not magic, this is hard work. Thanks for sharing 👍
LOVE spending Saturday mornings with my “car tunes”
You answered MANY of my own questions about dry ice blasting. Thanks for ‘splainin’ it to us. Very interesting…!
Alex, never hit the stud on tie rods or ball joints for removal. Hit the KNUCKLE on the SIDE of the stud and it will shock it loose! First thought is to hit it the direction you want it to go but horizontal impact is what loosens the tapered studs!
That's correct, the knuckle will deform enough by hitting it to release the taper shaft easily(for the most part).
Yes this one of the first things you learn as an apprentice mechanic, never hit the stud of the ball joint (especially if you plan on reusing it) as it will wreck the stud. The double hammer on the knuckle technique almost always works and doesn't damage the stud.
The car itself is absolutly disaster engineered ,but its still a legend
What a transformation. You will obviously get a lot of reassurance from this process.
Look forward to more videos on the. D-L. Hugh Somerset UK
Out of all the car related content I'm watching right now ( which is a lot ) this is by far my favourite. So epically cool 😎

Hell yeah I will! Lost my Mom to that😢
@@markopolo945I’m sorry you lost your mom to breast cancer. I lost my mom too, but the breast cancer didn’t Quite get the chance to kill her. Instead it was the radiation that killed her. Very very painfully.
Really appreciate that your doing this! On your way to become the Mr.Beast of car UA-camrs. You and Tyler with his holiday giveaways!
No one want to drop the bomb on how little money Komen actually donates to research?
I liked that you put a license plate between the fiberglass and the flame.
I've seen some welding guys use a really neat fabric behind their welding and torching that absorbs 100% of the heat from going through to the other side.
I wonder if they make a flexible pad like that so you could save that fiberglass from the heat. I know you didn't hit it with "flame" but you can definitely tell it got quite a bit of "heat" on it.
There's a tool called an induction heater that doesn't use flame to heat bolts in sensitive areas. They only run a 2 to 3 hundred dollars which is tremendously less expensive than repairing fire damage. Being in the rust belt I'm surprised he doesn't have one already. Of course he's still using MAP gas instead of a true torch which I find surprising for a former professional mechanic.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thx for the eye$ 👀 open look$...nice work guys HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Dramatic transform!! Always wanted to see that actually done. Thanks.
Hi Alex great show again. But what happened to Peter ??? you guys made a great team.
Spray your wheel wells and undercoating with amsoil mudslinger it's originally designed for off-roaders so they can clean their undercarriages easily but I found that it works great for the car fender wells and under body of any car and stops mud and stuff from oil sticking to your underside it's almost like putting ceramic coating on the undercoat of your car
Have you never watched one of his videos before? He uses that stuff all the time under hood and for fender wells. He's also an Amsoil dealer.
@@FastSS02 no just started watching it because it was suggested to me cuz I own DeLoreans
By far my favorite car channel and presenter! Go Alex!
Hey Alex, I really enjoyed watching all of the nastiness being stripped from the DeLorean. Thanks for setting this up. I'm looking forward to another installment. Cheers!
It's an amazing transformation, for the price I guess it better be. I think the biggest concern, even after you remove so many vulnerable things, is if it's doing any damage to gaskets/seals and such.

Not swapping that engine is an ongoing insult to DeLorean. He never wanted that engine, but was forced into it due to collusion from the big 3 to screw him over. Put a powerplant in that thing that DeLorean himself would have been proud of.
I wish you would had been around when I was a kid those 90s car rebuild shows were boring I would had learned more watching you then them ! Great jobs as always guy !!!!
There's a homeless dirty man I see every day on my way to work I wonder if this machine would work to get him cleaned up?
I suggest making the ice blasting part a short on UA-cam/tiktok/instagram.. just a suggestion. Get some extra engagements
Back to the pile!
The dry ice machine is kind of mesmerizing and therapeutic all at the same time. Great video by the way.
Love these vids bro and appreciate how kind hearted you are with donating to charities. Some people will be negative but dont worry about them.
I love this series, and I’ve been a subscriber since you were well under 50k. Watching you grow this thing is amazing. It’s not what you do, but I wonder how you’d resto-mod a camper.
Dude, wear a respirator mask when you're dry icing, you're breathing in all the garbage that's flying off the car. And make sure the area is well ventilated. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide which turns to gas once shot out of the gun and displaces the oxygen around you
You might have breathing issues in a sealed room at floor level. Co2 is heavy so opening a door helps clear it.
And yet again another quilty video love it. And the outtakes are becoming my favourite part 😂
Its so cool to see this project getting along, i bet it will be ready by haloween.
I’m going to have an aneurysm if I don’t find out what happened to Peter
Where is PETER????? We miss him. Did he go BACK to the FUTURE?
Wow what a transformation it looks fun Alex
Loving this project. It’s like going back to the future
Wheres PETER?
Brilliant channel always enjoy your videos 👏🏻🇬🇧
That was so satisfying to watch, thank you!
The 80's-style montage with video-game-font text was hilarious! Nicely done!
WOW! The before and after hit the spot to clean and expose the big D hidden underbody secrets! Before watching the video, I was split between the process working out like it should and it being an epic fail if the dry ice (coldness) and pressure could have damaged the fiberglass components. I am glad it worked out but not surprised that it did!
Alex you are the man! I think you will make the Halloween deadline and be very proud of the final resto!
GREAT SCOTT!!!!! it's a LSC video on a Saturday night here in Australia!!!!
Yes!!! Love my Saturday morning LSC!!!!
Holy crap, that dry ice blasting looks amazing!!!
Great work !!! Can't wait for the final reveal !!!
my favorite series on YT right now!! can’t wait for the next video! also, i wish this was going to be at SEMA, i would’ve loved to see it
Great video! Keep the videos coming!
Man, Ive been loving this series.
Keep up the fanstizzle work and dont ever change :)
Most satisfying video ever! But then again all LSC videos are satisfying!
My happy place is working on my old Delorean too. Cheers. Love these videos.
Dude! Love your work!
Thank you!!
Have been watching your content for ages, love all the Mercedes stuff but never owned a Mercedes, but it is so interesting it always keeps me enthralled, this project hit home because a friend of mine and his son absolutely loved the "back to the future" series, unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly, very sorely missed! but his his son bought a delorean, I was really reticent at first, but, I have come to understand his decision, and I have pointed him in your direction, and I am sure he will be very gratefull for the fantastic instructional information that will be invaluable to him in his ownership journey.
Cool 😎. Awesome job on the semi restoration so far . Definitely a ton of work , but that’s what it takes !
Alex you need some Speed wrenches. I didn’t think I needed them and I was just lazy but nooo! They saved me so much time doing break lines and getting my motor out of my Taurus.
excellent video...good to see the pros an cons of dry ice blasting
Hello from Bulgaria Alex! I just want to tell you that you are living my dream! I have learned so much of your videos and honestly you are the only one youtuber that I follow. Keep up with the great work you must know that you inspire people all over the world!
😮 wow what a transformation on that frame I didn't even know I could do this with dry ice amazing work you guys did I can't wait to see this car finished, one thing I did knew you was going to do was clean that whole car out even before the dry ice because your a clean freak and I can relate because I'm the same way I just hate to see dirt on my car, great job keep this amazing videos coming your the best and no one does what you do and that's going the whole 9 yards I totally respect that .
Loving this build Alex. Also great to see fellow Chicagoan having alot of success!
Thanks for making this fun and real. Great video and your spirit and humor makes this fun! That wig was hilarious!
I got so excited bout this vid! I really saw this as a dry ice project from the start! So cool that you listen to the comments! Wrench on!!!
Btw those aluminium parts, in a mediablaster like water and soda, will make them look better than mew… just sayin😅
This series is so good that I want to go back to the future to watch next weeks episode right now.
