The team had to pull apart every piece of the car to restore it.
- Every piece of the car, including the stock DeLorean parts and parts specific to the time machine, were taken off. They even removed the wheels, leaving just a basic frame to work from at one point. After photographing and cataloging each part, project leader Joe Walser and his team began putting together the pieces.
- The goal was to make it look like Doc Brown created the car in his garage, a look the original pulled off quite well. Although the exposed wires are kept intact for the renovated model, they have no function other than aesthetics. “It reflects the character of the guy who invented it, Doc Brown,” Gale said during a panel discussion at the Petersen museum. “You’re in a hurry to find out if [the car] works. So the wires are all exposed. Doc didn’t have time to put a housing on it. This thing looks like it could explode, and that’s one of the things that makes it cool.” He recalls Michael J. Fox saying about the original: “I get to drive this?”
