August 81 built delorean
This was an ideal car to be built into a time machine with a easy use auto transmission. This was a detailed build by Sam Creed who is a Film & TV Prop builder who has built several DeLorean’s in europe. This was an estimated £50k build with all the details from the original film. This model is the first version we see on screen when it rolls out of Doc Browns truck in the Twin Pines Mall car park. It has a glowing reactor core using some casted parts moulded from the original car and a 3D scanned T58 jet engine stator, along with an original 1967 mopar hubcap sat upon a custom fabricated aluminium core with original heat sinks from a Canadian company that supplied the originals, then we have the aircraft oil separators with a connector hose with 3d printed elbows scanned off the original A car. Then the Connecting hoses three each side mount to the bases of the reactor core vents that are water jet cut and aluminium welded to match the original car. We have screen accurate red capacitors with the correct labels and connectors, xerox cooling grill and metal machined “hockey pucks” on the drivers side rear along with the green “torpedo” aircraft actuators with screen matched part number decals, blue capacitors and ATO filters on the passenger side rear. We also have on the rear window/ deck a Janitrol helicopter heat conductor with orange pipe section and the very rare Robinsons aviation gyro mount (custom built matched to the screen) and the T195 vent with correct decals. Then we have the flux boxes that were cnc machined and matched to measurements taken off the original A car when being restored back in 2011. The reference photos used for this build were taken by Gary Weaver and Joe Walser on the back lot at universal and during the restoration. The flux boxes are connected with the flux bands using the same diameter perforated aluminium mesh and a white diffuser behind masking a light blue glowing light for evening or indoor display many people use a blue for the glow as the lighting effect used was white neon with a blue overtone. On top we have the wormhole emitter modelled off what is believed to be a WW2 audio recorder and was 3d scanned and replicated, also have the correct mole richardson wire connectors plugging in the flux boxes to the reactor core electrical system, moving inside and spared no expense here with once again time circuits that not only match what is seen on screen but made to be used by the driver and can input dates and the sounds are all movie matched, just as Marty in the film turns on the time circuits the Dayton reverse switch with black leaver gets turned and activates the electrical components, the time circuits engage, the plutonium gauges register, the vsr turns on with led display and manual counter controls, the SID also engages along with the entire roof box and the famous flux capacitor. Created with a genuine stalin electrical unit and correct audio sounds when this car gets turned on you get immersed into the full experience of being in a genuine 1981 delorean time machine. Also comes with an extremely detailed Claire unit and dash boxes along side red rowan relays and the rare correct stereo with heatsink and air guide compass. Every inch of this car has had a lot of time and effort put in to it to achieve an incredibly screen accurate replica. Weathered to look like its been travelling through space amd time, it looks and feels so authentic! Several Parts were sourced from specialists from France, spain, Usa and Canada, Sam Creed also custom made several parts in house at his fabrication workshop where the car was built. Any questions regarding the build Sam Creed is available upon request. The car as you can see from the photos is a very highly detailed build. The original car was a manual transmission but with Dayton switch on the centre console it makes it very difficult to change gears hence a auto transmission is the perfect solution to be able to drive this car comfortably, and is also fully uk road legal.
