breaking away from my usual subject matters, i decided i wanted to build a stock delorean. the only 1/25 dmc in plastic is the time machine from Back to the Future, so i started there. the body will need the "time equipment" stuff removed, not a problem, same with the interior. the problem is the chassis and engine are non existent. What i'll do is scratchbuild a chassis and use spare parts to build an engine.

Fortunately, there's a few restoration blogs of deloreans on the web, with photos of everything under the skin. i started by drawing a up some plans, which are only done by eye, so this isn't going to be uber-accurate. i started by fabbing up the center section of the dmc backbone chassis.
I also butchered the kit's chassis to provide the wheel arches and perimeter. The chassis was made by cutting the bottom shape out of styrene, then building up the sides and capping it off. Yes, my hands are sore and bleeding
These cross-members were a pain as there's so many angles and pieces.The front suspension is made from individual parts, with a few scale nuts from vectorcut models.
