Really interesting seeing your disassembly, and how the car was constructed in the first place. I also applaud your attention to detail, fixing all the little things as you go along. I'm still hoping you go the twin-turbo route, as DMC intended, instead of putting some monster V8 in it. Also not a fan of the decal kit, or the ground effects on that other car, hopefully you keep your car looking clean and classy, like the early production model it is. Enjoying this series immensely.

For the foil and butyl sound deadening stuff, you are supposed to rub down the panels with rubbing alcohol first, let it dry, stick it on, then squish it down with a roller so that the rectangular pillowy looking cells flatten down, which indicates that you've pressed it on hard enough and it will actually prevent vibrations. Easy enough to fix though, and amazing job with everything else!

Not exactly sure what your asking there but in my mind and experience if you want to splice two wires together you can’t get a stronger more durable connection for general work. No run of the mill crimp connection I’ve run across is going to be better. Now with that said everything has it place so I might use different products in different areas/applications. If I’m wiring something that I may want disconnect or remove I’ll use something like Deutsch connectors or similar.

@LegitStreetCars a few suggestions.. The sound deadener.. Will fall off the roof when it gets hot. You have to use a roller and post heat w a heat gun to install it so the adhesive sticks. Second.. There is no gloss black used in interior pieces.. You're far better off to use a satin trim black paint for that.. The orange peel from the gloss is rough. Wire brushing out your ur ashtray and just using a primer woukd be a great idea.. Etc. Lastly. Spray adhesive.. U want to spray both sides but u want to wait u til it is DRY 5 minutes.. Then you won't get bleed thru. And you won't get finger spots in your headliner foam.. Trust the cans instructions.. Leaving spray glue to flash fully is the master trick. Hope that helps my man

Leather: While panels are out steam the back side and all areas of the metal. Clean it several times. Smells live there. Leather surfaces: some are tanned, most are painted. The paint does allow the passage of moisture and oils through the hide. Steam the leather and wipe it as clean as you can get it. Then soak the leather by applying any lanolin based leather rejuvenator. Immediately cover it with saran wrap or plastic from grocery bags. Let soak a day and do it at least two more times. My last cream to soak in is called Saphir and is expensive. After removing the last soaking plastic use your hands and more Saphir to rub this last coat. Make the leather move around. If there is a cooked hard spot use lanolin and plastic more times until it is soft. Then vigorously rub the leather timo remove surface cream. Use a real shoe brush to give it a soft mat finish. I use the Groits leather scent spray to give the car the right smell. I spray a bit in weekly.

Need to use a roller on the butyl mats you put in. Helps it adhere to the panels better, which allows it perform its function better. Think of it like sealing it to the surface. You are taking so much time to do this car right, so it may be worth going back in to roll down the mats. The purpose of the butyl mats is to lower the frequency of noise the panel emanates when it vibrates by adding mass. You may also consider adding a layer of closed cell foam (CCF) for insulation. That lessens the burden on your AC to keep the car cool because it is not fighting the sun as much. Same goes in the winter, much easier for it to keep the car warm. If the car is sitting out in the sun the interior would be noticeably less hot, which also means less stress on interior trim pieces because they don't experience extreme temperature changes as often. Fair warning, the CCF is no where near as fun to work with as the butyl! I did a big sound dampening installation in my truck. Extremely noticeable difference for regular road use. It is hard to go back once you have experienced it! What you are doing here is sound dampening as well, not sound deadening. Sound deadening requires a thick layer like a vinyl mat whose purpose is to literally block sound. Sound dampening reduces the noise from vibrations to lower frequencies so it is less audible.

This Hour/Half was so easy to watch. Movie long video and didn't even feel like I was watching for long as you are one of the only KZbinrs that give so much and I know that we all enjoy the videos and don't care how long they are. Great job on the car.. it looks amazing already.

After this in depth esthetical restoration. I’m very much hyped for what you have in store on the mechanical department. I mean it needs some work but I bet you can’t go above and beyond without some resto mod items.

I feel this. I'll never forget restoring my first DeLorean. I've seen DeLorean panels made to look like an accordian and some real metal wizards make them look like new again. So I'm surprised anyone would claim they can't be repaired.

The man is thorough and the DeLorean is the perfect content creator too. Never seen the nooks and crannies of one before

Great job! I also want to thank you for making this look doable. So many who make videos about DeLorean ownership and restoration come across as snobby or elitist. Your amiable manner and every guy personality makes this look like anyone can do it.

17:55 I would put a small bead of silicone there too on each side of the rubber, underneath the steel panels, where it meets the steel panels. 19:14, I would use black rivets for that application.

The dedication shown here is both immaculate and insane. Seeing you restore something like this with that smile on your face is also heartwarming. That, and observing how resourceful you are when it comes to doing something you haven't done before or tacking something as niche as a DeLorean. Thank you for what you do Alex! I know I am a few days late, but this was great and I am looking forward to watching the mechanical part when I got time. PS: Cheeers Max for all you do, too!

Great video series. Only hint I can give you is to let the spray adhesive dry on both surfaces then spray one surface lightly just before you install the pieces.

Well done Alex, I’m so happy for you! Weird perhaps, but I used to have the job at GM in Oshawa, Canada of installing the rubber door seals. Man that took me back! I was on the edge of my seat watching you reinstall all the interior trim and components, just praying there would be no accidents or drips of adhesives. The car is looking amazing! I have followed you for perhaps 5 years now and really love how far you have come and the impressive content you put out. Please keep it coming! 👍🇨🇦

Sound deadening will do wonders for your car for both sound and heat. Audio heads use it quit often and it makes a huge difference in the audio quality inside the vehicle. You can talk to your passengers much easier as well.
