Touring the DeLorean Factory in Houston Texas! - DMC 12 Bonus Episode

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ส.ค. 2024
- We had a lot of questions on our twin turbo Delorean videos about where we're able to source OEM parts for this car. We also got a lot of backlash when we cut the fenders up, mainly from people saying "how can you do this to a car you can't get parts for anymore?!" Well you definitely can get parts for these DMC12s. Stephen Wynne has a whole warehouse full of them in Texas! That's because he's the president of DeLorean Motor Company. The car company is alive and well, not only restoring old DeLoreans to their former glory, but working on plans to start releasing new DMC12s too! He takes us around the Houston factory to show us where they restore customer DeLoreans and where they house their boxes and crates of NOS parts! Walking into this DeLorean Motor Company factory is like taking a step back in time as you walk amongst the crates, boxes and parts that once filled the original factory in Dunmurry. We're excited to see what the future of DeLorean has in store for it as Stephen keeps pushing this company forward! Make sure to subscribe to stay tuned in on everything we're doing to get our twin turbo LS swapped DeLorean running and ready to rip some tires!

The new CEO is awesome, seen him in many videos now and giving interviews. Nice to see a chap with so much drive and passion. Really do wish these guys well.
He's truly all about the brand and making sure it stays true to the original DMC.
is that a liverpool twang i hear.... my man!!!!
@@SalvagetoSavage lol, I live right down the road
I really like too of the things he talked about. Glad they welcome video guys in
It’s awesome that he is keeping John Delorean’s legacy alive.
That CEO is the perfect guy for that company no doubt. His passion and his knowledge for the cars is just on point so kudos to him and his staff and nothing but praise.
I like to see moded DeLoreans, & it's nice to see factory DeLoreans, any DeLorean's good to see as far as I'm concerned, been a fan of them for years!
There's still enough of em in the wild to do something cool with at least one of them!
Very cool to see a hands-on company president.
He's so involved with every aspect of the company!
My aunt and uncle live in Houston. One time about six years ago when I was visiting I asked if we could go check out the DMC factory. We took about a 30 mile ride to go see it and yeah it looks exactly the same today. They had about 20 cars lined up outside and a couple sitting on the "showroom" floor. I asked for permission to sit in one and they said "That's fine-just don't have anything in you back pockets". So that's when I finally got to sit in a Delorean. Got the photos' to prove it.😁 They have the final door assembled in Ireland hanging on the wall signed by all the factory workers. Too bad they didn't show it.
That's awesome! All the guys there are super nice. They have a ton of DeLorean memorabilia in there (well I guess at this point, everything DMC is memorabilia! lol)
I happened upon a car show as I was leaving coming back from the mall where I literally had just gotten a Johnny Lightning BTTF Delorean die cast car when I was a teenager around 2000 and happened to see a fucking Delorean with the gullwing doors popped open from the highway! My friends and I doubled back around and when I went up to see it my mind was literally melting from the awesomeness! I can say I also got to sit inside of it and it was a surreal experience! 20 years later and it was one of the coolest experiences I ever had. I mean what are the odds I had just picked up the little collectable toy car and happened upon the real deal not even a few miles away!
The car is not only a time machine, but the building too!
The amount of old stuff in there is incredible!
Wow, I’ve loved the Delorean ever since watching ‘Back to the Future’ in the mid 1980’s as a kid and it is so awesome to see how passionate the DMC owner is to see that this iconic car is around for future generations. Fantastic tour of the factory and a most incredible time capsule. Thanks for making this video and keep up the awesome content!
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!
I've wanted one ever since I was a kid. Nowadays as my car preference is mainly sedans, it remains one of the few sports cars I'd own.
"Time capsule" - that is indeed the right term for it. It is amazing that ALL the stuff from the original company still exists and being appreciated by different generations of people. Sure, the movie gave DMC the spotlight back in the day - now the old & new car has the chance to conquer the modern times. 😎👍
The car is really making the comeback it deserves!
My dad owned a DMC-12 I learned how to drive in it. I also took my drivers test in it. After my dad passed away it was willed to me however my dads lawyer had a lien on the car and was taken from me. I fought to get the car back even paid what my dad supposedly owed to get the car back. The lawyer refused to give me the car back So I took him to court found out the lawyer obtained the lien illegally and had no rights to own the car. He was order to return the car pay back what I paid to him to get the car back and $30,000 in damages. I still own it. I ls swapped it. I did it with my son and I'll pass it on to my him.
I'm glad you fought hard for it! It would be a shame to let that thing go. Especially with how much it meant to you. And now you get to keep sharing those memories with your son! That's awesome
Dirty lawyer, what a POS
Sometimes a lawyer can be a criminal lawyer, sometimes they are a Criminal Lawyer.
I was there 2 years ago! Since then I've made it to the Florida DMC and I'm so ecstatic for the DeLorean to be rebuilt!
Guy is right when he said some of the OG parts are better than some
Of new parts!
That guy knows his stuff.
He lives and breathes DMC!
Man this was so interesting. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of taking us on the tour.
Thanks for watching! We're glad you liked it!
The first time I saw a DeLorean still sticks out in my mind. Comox BC, 1984. This shiny metal "supercar" pulls in to the civilian air terminal on the base I lived on as a teenager. I was delivering papers, and ended up being really late because I was in awe. The owner was really cool about this kid asking so many questions, and let me sit in it. I left wishing some day I'd be lucky enough to own one. Well, I'm 51 and still wishing.
Hopefully they'll be in production again soon and your dream can come true!
This is freaking awesome 👌 that they still keeping these cars alive and the same way they look in the 80's this guy is the real doc brown of DeLorean's love it this video made my day 😀
Couldn't agree more! We're glad you liked the video!
A M A Z I N G I'm so excited to see the DeLorean re-release coming soon
This is insane! I'm excited to the future of DMC.
That was super dope! Glad to see the new CEO is so dedicated to DMC
That factory is an IRL DeLorean time machine. Cliché, I know but I couldn't resist.
Always been a cool car, just some of us who loved it from day one were too young to afford it. I actually had an opportunity to work on one and was beyond impressed for what it was. Kudos to the new CEO and DMC, wish more classics had such a dedicated support system.
Great video, as are all that I've seen from y'all! Being a child of the eighties and seeing the passion and honesty of the CEO of DMC (Stephen) is truly heart warming. I think Delorean himself would be proud to be represented by such a person. It's rare to find someone who is willing to do anything to follow their dreams, maybe he went too far, but Stephen seems to be on firm ground. Best of luck to him and you on your dream cars!
He's got a passion for the brand and a good mindset to keep it all alive!
This dude is awesome. Damn he knows everything, thats someone i want to see working on my car.
His knowledge reveals that his passion for the car is true.
Thanks for another informative video. I’m really happy to see someone breathing life into the DeLorean again. I hope they really focus on the EV concept of it.
Its insane to see how well all those parts were preserved.. holy..
They didn't play around with their quality back then. Everything was meant to hold up over time. The NOS parts look like they were made yesterday!
@@SalvagetoSavage "They dont make them like they used to" lol. Also LOVE the builds and looking forward to the Miami video! It would also be cool to see you guys race the truck against the DeLorean.. would make a cool video as well!
@@brittanyreilly4536 the truck will stomp that little tin can! might be a closer race against cha Ching
Dude the fact that he reached out on Facebook about that! Dmc president you are a king
He really has a love for the brand!
DeLorean is definitely coming a long way with Stephen. Here's hoping he achieves new cars soon, I've been waiting for over 35 years.
He's taking care of the company like it deserves to be!
Thanks for another awesome video! Definitely a treat to see that warehouse and all those cars!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching
Did not know that was a thing I wanted to see.
Worth it!
So glad you liked it!
That gold is amazing. I would never have imagined in a million years just how breathtakingly good it would look. But then, I'm rubbish at that sort of thing. I know what I like but never, EVER, let me choose the colour, or patterns, designs... huge respect for guys like you who can visualise the finished product.
It was sort of a spur of the moment decision! We're stoked with the way it turned out!
Reminds me of the three original gold plated models.
I have always been a fan of the body design of the DMC-12. The stainless is great. But that gold you put on yours really does it justice.
It really makes it pop!
That is so cool! I'm looking forward to seeing you getting your DeLorean running.
We're itching to get it all fired up for you guys!
Cool. Thank you for doing the tour. Big smile on my face.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it!
It's about time, this car with another engine and another style of modification we see in the street.
A gold mine for parts
They got everything you need to restore your car!
Wow. This is a really cool and unique business model. Respect!
Glad you like it!
This is an awesome video, thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
what an awesome guy! I cant wait to see what happens with the replica project, i would love to own one of these one day
Wow thanks for that, I now need to take a trip to Houston. Great video and the CEO seems to be the perfect man for the job. An endeavor like this requires someone who bleeds DMC and he is the one.
That's Stephen down to the core! He's a true DMC lover
I thought your project was pretty interesting, but thank you for taking the time to show your viewers a tour of the Huston facility. It means more and more to the community when DeLoreans get their time to shine. Not for Back to the Future, but their rich history and hopeful future 🤜 🤛

Wow, what a video! Hats off! Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for sharing that tour. That was AMAZING! I love the Delorean and horsepower but for a new modern car, I’d love to have an electric Delorean. Lol
Electric would definitely out perform the stock DMC motor! lol
Thanks for the tour. Gold looks great. 👌
Thanks for watching!
Like a Phoenix out of the ashes, this is the best outcome you could wish for to keep the brand alive. What a fantastic product to come out of the early 80s, when modernisation took a leap.
TY for sharing with us this Factory is amazing 💪👊👋
Thanks for watching!
I love passing trough there on way to work. DMC 🖤
A lot of us 40 something year olds know this car has been cool for 4 decades!
Damn that tour was sick! The ceo truly believes in the car, what a legend. Also excited to see what else you do with the lsdelorean
He's the perfect man to take over the company. We're hoping to have the LS DLo running for you guys soon!
wow That is amazing great to see the factory and all the parts. The CEO is a super cool Guy.
He's awesome!
I live next door to DMC Northwest, and I thought I had seen a lot of DeLorean's in one place, but wow!
It's crazy to see them all packed into one warehouse!
Great video. You do such a fun job of it.👍🇫🇷
He is my favourite Scouser ,top chap 👍🏻
If you had told me that you were doing to wrap the Delorian in gold I would have been very upset. Now having seen it... damn. BEAUTIFUL
It looks even crazier in person!
Thank you so much. Loved this video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Beltway 8 and 59 just to the south east. I used to drive past that place at least four times a week for many years.
Holy shit I'd be drooling like an idiot walking through the Delorean factory, as a 51 year old man these cars are a bucket list drive 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘But they're hard to find here in Australia
They're getting hard to find here in the states too! And if you do find one, they're super expensive now! Hope you liked the tour!
very excited for this
Great content! Great information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was awesome!! content on fire!
She GOLD BABY!!
I think it’s fun that John DeLorean designed the 67 to 72 C10 a pre square body in the pick for this episode you got both a man with a huge influence on the automotive world
We didn't dig deep enough apparently! That's an awesome piece of trivia. Thank you for sharing it!
Much respect to him and his involvement the the company
He's doing a great job keeping DMC alive!
This was a great vid. The ceo seems like a great guy. Now I need to earn some more money to get one.
That was fascinating !
Great episode 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you!
He is awesome! Great vid :)
Thanks for the visit!
Perfect and worth it
Great tour, think the CEO is from my home area of the Wirral UK by the sounds of it
One of my top 2 dream cars. A Delo and a 69' charger. I have neither would trade a testicle for either
Awesome, one kind of a childhood dream... Love it. If I am once back in the US I'll stop by in Housten at DMC. 🤣 Greetings from Germany
If you stop there, tell them Salvage to Savage says hello!
@@SalvagetoSavage I'll do... 👍
Big up from country of Russia. You guys doing amazing job! Like to see all your videos. I found ur channel from video where you were making chasus for c10 and it was increbible to watch how you build its EV from scratch . Stay cool!
and ye, sorry for bad enlish
Your English is great! Thank you so much for watching. We really appreciate all the support!
@@SalvagetoSavage wow! Thanks guys! Its great pleasure watching your vids. It's also improve my English. Wish someday I could work in shop like yours.
If I get one I know where to take it. Plan on getting one soon. I love the car no matter how old it is
Stephen does an incredible job with the restorations!
Love the GOLD! 👌🏾
And now we have a new ev modern one coming out. So pumped for august
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's Amazing what human can do when are passionate
Damn, this was on my bday and this is one of my dream cars.
Happy belated birthday!
Any of this content is going to get a huge amount of views👍
Thats a 12 minute drive from my house!!
My childhood in a building
The CEO should begin contemplating exhaust deals with Borla and Magnaflow for all of those Gearheads that are gonna want a broader range of exhaust notes in 2022.
He's trying to keep the car as true to the original as possible, but that would definitely be a good idea for magnaflow to jump on that before the relaunch!
Thank you so much for doing this tour I've always wanted a deloreon for my car collection but as of now I can't afford one but if I sold all my movie car replicas I could but I love all of my movie cars that I e built so that won't happen thanks again I love what you've done to yours as well so beautiful
Glad you liked the tour! We appreciate the support on the build too!
ty) i saw this factory before, but u did it better)
I'm 41 years old and still want one. But I want the s2s version
That's the awesome thing about the car scene! There's something for everyone. Thanks so much for watching!
that was super cool.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good to see they're working on new carbon underpinnings. Those original tubs were a joke...it was explained to me by factory workers at the time that the molds didn't cool off enough between layups. Most likely this caused undesirable exothermic reaction in the resin. Many of the cars had blistering problems and often the rivnuts would pullout or spin as well. If you ever restore a DMC12 be careful when you remove the fenders because sometimes there's a hex nut on the backside of the spinning rivnut. That's because I used to superglue that nut to the end of my fingertip to install it! Man, if Zap superglue wasn't around in 1980/81 DeLorean would have gone outta business nevermind the cocaine and the bankruptcy.
1st: Omfg the car is gold now! Looks bad ass
2nd: that was one of the coolest factory tours i have ever seen. A literal dream car of mine is a DeLorean!
3rd: you are in Miami still!!?? I live in Miami dude i have to come see this car. When are u here till!?
We're based out of boca, not we're never to far away from MIA!
Freaking fantastic!
Glad you like it!
That is so dam cool. Just when I couldn’t want another car this happens and then you get slapped in the face with reality and knowing you will never be able to afford one. So dang cool to see the history and future all in one.
They are quickly becoming collectors items. And we thought the prices on beat up square bodies were bad. DMC is on a whole other level!
This place is down the street from me and I always see it passing on the highway. Always wondered if I could go have a tour or see the show room.
They're super nice! I'm sure they'd be happy to show you around!
An electric Deloreon would be so dope!
Every VW bug owner from 67 down didn't have a problem opening the trunk to fuel up.
But where are the flux capacitors ? He a Brit from the midlands ish sounds like Liverpool ish running a DMC company in the states respect ✊ wasn’t expecting that ! What a great guy very passionate and what a fabulous outfit …certainly wish I had one . Great vid thanks man 👍
Thanks for watching!
I've ordered tens of thousands of dollars from DMC. I own a portion of that building. Now I need a new door and torsion bar which is going to kill me.
Steven might consider Hemp Bast hemicellulose graphene
I really think they delorean, you should put together your new electric models, since they would be like out of the movie, back to the future, and it would be incredible to have one like that. It is a car that being electric I would buy it without hesitation
Clásico él carro DMC 👍 hermoso carro 👍☕
Love the new color on the DeLorean. Saw the story on autoeveolution. Tried to add the link but it won't add it. Had a guy near where I live that had one way back when @ Halloween he would dress up as Marty Mcfly. As he got older he started dressing as Doc Brown.
I really want to know at what point he decided to make that transition from Marty to Doc! lol
@@SalvagetoSavage lmao. I'm sure age had something to do with it. Maybe raising kids helped with the white hair. He was really cool guy. He would drive around n pass out candy in the car and let ppl get pics ect. I think he was even a local radio dj
I like the replica EV idea more than the EV concept, especially if it somehow improves weight distribution of the original, because at least it will LOOK like a DeLorean.
Where is the episode of the finished delorean when did it turn to gold? Saw the Sema video but seems like there was lots of work done after. Awesome build!
It'll be coming out soon! We're working on getting it running 100% right now!
Wow it looks good in gold . Interesting to see the DMC as it is now and the fact that they are built to factory spec is as it should be, leave it to the owners to molest them post production, lol.
Stephen is all about the DMC brand. We're all about choppin it up! lol
