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.
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.
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
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.
Where is PETER????? We miss him. Did he go BACK to the FUTURE?
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
There’s no question, when this build is done, you will have the most incredible Delorean EVER!
Probably better than new
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.
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
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) 💙🙏🏼
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 RUclipsr ! I always enjoy his videos
Exactly what you would expect.
Hi Alex great show again. But what happened to Peter ??? you guys made a great team.
That was fun Alex. I'm still blowing out black soot from my nose.
Thanks so much for coming and I'm still picking stuff out of my hair!
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 your content , no extra hype just good content.
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.
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
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.
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 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❤

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 RUclipsrs. You and Tyler with his holiday giveaways!
No one want to drop the bomb on how little money Komen actually donates to research?
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.
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!
If you don't upgrade the frame to a stainless steel one, you will not be happy...!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Hi Alex. Jesus this Dry Ice is Brilliant. It does a perfect job. It must cost a fair amount of Money too buy. There's not alot of Rust on the De Lorean. I can't wait to see it being finished. You got very lucky with this Car Alex. Great Video 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
Look forward to Saturday mornings just for these videos.
Where is the Peter Yamamoto San? Missing in action for some videos lately
Loving the vids keep them coming !
OMG! I grew up the Chicagoland area (counsole) with an OCD German-American, clean-freak mom and I found this video SO satisfying! Alex, is your mom German by chance? Everytime I watch one of your videos I start talking with that Chicago accent for about a day and a half (da Bears!). For some reason, you seem like family. Keep representing brother!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 am just asking, why didn‘t you also collect money for Pancreas or Testicles Cancer?? Yes, I know Breast Cancer is bad (heck, I even lost an Aunt to that), but Pancreas and Testicles, or even Leukaemia do not get as much funding and or recognition in Society, tho those Cancer variants can be more letal..
The car itself is absolutly disaster engineered ,but its still a legend
Before you put the wheels/axles, etc back on….I would hold off for your Halloween display.
I was thinking you could put it on a frame with some wheels (or enough o look like they’re turned for hover mode)
Most could be blacked out and hide the core frame.
You could have your car in hover mode for Halloween…which most everyone would likely view it in the dark.
That would be a great illusion to portray. Just add a quick veneer on the back to look like the movie car.
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.
But fail to mention all the toxic smoke that laser creates, and most shops don't have a dedicated bay with ventilation to do safely! Where as rollout a sheet of paper put car on hoist and blast away as long u have decent air flow though area
Glad you went the Dry Ice route. You should have done the top of the engine while you had it! And inside that valley that was corroded, to get all the dirt off and see what youre working with and ready to anti-rust/protect the block..
Good job though! 👍🏴🇬🇧
Wow so impressed of the difference the dry ice did looks so good! You’ll get it done 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.
I’m going to have an aneurysm if I don’t find out what happened to Peter
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!
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
I would imagine like 80% of that car was made with off the shelf parts from other cars, problem is they may have been European cars we never got in the US and figuring out what cars those were. I highly doubt DeLorean had some company custom cast brake rotors or shocks or tie rods just for this car.
Almost certainly UK vehicles which should narrow it down a bit. I'm sure enthusiasts already figured it out though.
Well, Peugeot and Renault were a major part of making that V6 engine. It would not surprise me if a lot of other parts came from Peugeot and Renault.
I love that you are doing this!!!
Please buy bolt induction heater
Wheres PETER?
It's funny.... I used one of these dry ice blasters on a weekly basses to clean out resist byproduct in a semiconductor manufacturing tool. The joy of seeing the material break away and leave a cleaner surface was awesome.... like the first 2 times, after that a couple of hours of blasting followed by a few hours of scrubbing with diamond pad gets old. Resist is super hard and the dry ice just could not break through the deeper layers. You cant use a sand blaster in a clean room. This is much cleaner and the blasting media just evaporates leaving just the material your removing. I just wanted to add we did not need to use a generator, our machine was 110 and plugged right into an outlet.
This is not magic, this is hard work. Thanks for sharing 👍
80's montage style! Need to end with the three of you in a circle doing a group jump uo high five in slow motion and when all your hands touch, let you an echoing YEAH!!!!
Disassembly…so satisfying! Remembering where it all goes back is my challenge!! I love watching you do it all!!
As you are properly aware Delorans were made in Belfast Northern Ireland. So they are not English. England is not Northern Ireland it's not even Great Britain, But is part of the British Isles.
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.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wow that dry ice is amazing. It would instantly clear up my teenage blemishes back to factory fresh, after cryogenics.

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 RUclips/tiktok/instagram.. just a suggestion. Get some extra engagements
Back to the pile!
Edd China ex Wheeler Dealers did a Range Rover MK1 chassis clean with a laser which did a similar job to what Alex achieved on the DeLorean.
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.
At some point you should get some of that dry ice and use it to create some of the effects seen in Back to the Future! I once had a a job that involved dry ice and I found that spraying dry ice with water increased the steam effect. (Will he use it for good or evil...stay tuned).
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.
Spring ARE DANGEROUS!!! I remember when I was 19 and working in a scrapyard in denver.... I was taking apart a brake chamber from a semi with a bench vice..... the moment I started to back off the vice, th spring shot out of the side of the brake chamber, and QUIT LITERALLY SHOT THROUGH THE METAL ROOF 30 feet above my head.....
Edit: *springs

Haven't read all the comments but I'm sure someone else has mentioned by now that Komen is one of the worst charities to donate to - almost all 'donations' go to their 'administrative' overhead and almost none (comparatively) goes to the actual cause. There's a handful of sites that show all the transparency of most charities and it's very enlightening to check these things.
Could have learned a few lessons from the Ammo Ny channel. He blasted a vehicle with dry ice ( think it was a Porsche ) and the results were a clean undercarriage but all the residue ended up all over his shop.
My commet about SGK was removed by the YT police....but do NOT give them a dime !
The Car looks so Nice Now , I hope to see you adding more Torque and Horsepower to the Motor once it is Running Normal Again .
How do I do this? Go over it once and then again now it's cold! OK Alex I'm going to use this like a jet wash????
Would have been interesting to see the dry ice on low pressure clean up the engine valley. You do need to treat the alloy tonprevent further deterioration. Plenty of good products from the aerospace industry and then you can do some metal apoxy bonding.
Love the videos!
Where is peter the wizard !
One of thee most satisfying video I've seen on your channel.😍 That dry ice is so freshes so clean clean! 😅 Great video!
Very surprised that there was no attempt at cleaning the vallry of death!!!???😮😮😮
That dry ice blasting is great it's a bit like Shot blasting which I have done but it is not as destructive, I do love the before and after and I am pleased you have now seen just how good it is but the price is not always easy to justify apart from on time machines.
Why the qlickbait dude? What are you? Twelve years old?
Not cool and really unneeded.
@17:11 "That could fester hatred and anger"
See "Hoovie" and "Buried vehicles in my yard".
Brilliant channel always enjoy your videos 👏🏻🇬🇧
I just fold the cotter key ends up so I can fit a 6pt impact socket then air impact the castle nut. The cotter ends shear off and the nut threads right off. Then drive what's left of the cotter out with a punch or send the ball joint to the iron pile.
That frame epoxy acts as a barrier coat, when you go to repair it with new epoxy paint just be sure you thoroughly coat it all. Any missed areas or pin holes in the epoxy coat can create an area where accelerated corrosion can happen.
Alex, why didn't you pressure wash it to get the big dirt off, then you can hit it with the dry ice, to fine tune it, since it's so expensive using the dry ice??
Have you considered an engine swap? A turbo V6 out of a Ford truck would fit sweet. I have an LS swap that was incredible but would require a lot of modifications. I believe he cut off the entire back of the car and made it removable just to access the engine.
You can still make the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance on November 12th!
Dude, wear some mask/respirator. Your future self will thank you. Do it for your kids
Maybe try using pliers instead of side cuts on your cotter pins and then you won't cut through them.😂
I know what will haunt you in your nightmares over the next month: Washers!
1367 is the frame number, they were all hand marked as they were compleated because there were no stamps
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!
Hi Joe from Australia, I got to ask what happened to your mate Peter?
Love your channel but will never support Susan G Komen
Never seen a dry ice blasting machine before. But all that dry ice even in a large space can't be good for you so why no respirators? Love the videos and makes me feel like I am 20 years younger back working on my cars.
Doors were all open with ventilation 😊 thank you for your concern!!
A Porsche trans and a bell housing kit an LS fits quite well in there LSC ?
You know what Alex?
I got humbled by your video today. Mabye it is my current state of mind, but I love the way you do your videos, and the realtionship you have with, in this case, Chicago autopros. I’m going to try to order one of your shirts for Breast cancer. Hope you ship to sweden!
You should do LASER etching next time to clean all the metal. Looks so cool, and so does dry ice :)
All top down cleaning should start with the frame and undercarriage
The dry ice machine is kind of mesmerizing and therapeutic all at the same time. Great video by the way.
