How to build your own BTTF Time Machine
We often get the question where to started to build a Back to the Future Time Machine or one of its components so we did this post with some references.
By far the best reference to get info and help on building your time machine is the Delorean Time Machine Builders Group on Facebook where over 4.000 members exchange info and post the results of their build. The File section has CAD files containing the exact dimensions of most of the aluminum parts like the vents, bulkhead, Clare Electroseal, Engine Cover, Flux Boxes, …
As you ended up here you probably know what the Flux Capacitor or Mr.Fusion are but if you want to get some grips on terminology like Worm Hole Emitter, Janitrol, Torin Blower, Hockeypucks, Pesco Oil Separators, Cannon Elbows, … you can check out these books :
It’s really rewarding to build the props yourself (YouTube & Google are your best friends here) but there are a couple of people that did most of the hard work for you already :
Don’t forget to check out where the parts are sent from as customs can sit on your shipment for weeks, block it (as most parts are replica’s and/or airplane parts) and charge the most ridiculous taxes.
