Just curious, how much has this project set you back so far?   and how much time do you think you have in it?

I have probably around 6k in it.  alot of the stuff I got at surplus shops, and even the auto shop I manage has an upstairs filled with old hoses and braided lines, etc.  Some stuff I bought build by other collectors/builders.  Some stuff are kit pieces like the flux boxes.  I started my build in mid December , been working on it mostly on weekends. So a few months.

Yep.. I always can't wait for Friday to roll around because I plan the work I want to get done over the weekend.  This week the rear deck should be done   I just found some more parts that I am going to install.  Some stuff that was never on the originals, but I think will look cool and "should" be there   Pictures will follow..

I wonder what my next project might be... maybe I'll have to convert my lotus into the submarine

Did some more work on the back deck, all the main pieces are bolted down. Anyway it is 95% done now, just need to make the panel for the Mr. Fusion to stand on, and do some wiring details. I threw in some extra fun stuff, and some warning labels from Ghostbuster circles. 

Now this is what the Part 3 original deck looked like, some differences, but this has been my main inspiration.

You know with all those hose's running all over the place, i would get so confused.   Patience is a gift, and you definatly got it my friend.

95% done!   i wanna see that thing fire up, and take off JUST like the movie, with the disappearing and the flames, and the white haired insane dude too! lol jk

Fun link.  Haven't done too much work on the car, other than getting  all the electrical stuff inside the car wired/ builkt.  I am having a fellow friend/ prop builder  up here doing that for me.    I won't be able to fully finish the car till the end of summer, the wife and I are moving into our first house at the beginning of July.  I can't wait.  Finnally own my garage.  I could fit four cars in there, so I am going to be in work space heaven!!

Have to say too, Jack knocked my socks off with his last update on Jay's site with the DeLorean photos. Holy smokes... it fills in a lot of the blanks about a few things.  I put a link of the page to the bttf website and it went nuts!

Hey everyone.

The car has been going through a major overhaul... buying a house last summer put a huge delay on the car. I was trying to get it presentable for last June's DMC show but life got in in the way.

  However I will be updating with some photos.  Can't wait to have her really done.


Oh Rusty, your website looks great.
