Inside West Coast Customs; Will I Am's DMC spotted - bjbrownie - 14 Nov 2012

Watching tonight's Inside West Coast Customs (Discovery Turbo 14/11), lurking in the background of the garage was the partially completed DMC based 'thing' Will I Am has. Always thought he built it himself , not West Coast Customs!


Re: Inside West Coast Customs; Will I Am's DMC spotted - Dangermouse - 14 Nov 2012

Mr. I.Am bought a recon car from DMC-CA with custom interior. He then drove it straight to WCC who worked their "magic" on it. However WCC weren't allowed to talk about it and it never was part of their TV show.

A few months later 'Will" debuted the Delor.i.am as his own creation, that would be built by the street urchins of inner-city LA in a commendable redevelopment project. He never mentioned that he had WCC built it for him, though. Oopsie.

Just checked the WCC website and they actually have a proper picture on it now.

It looks bloody awful.


Re: Inside West Coast Customs; Will I Am's DMC spotted - bjbrownie - 26 Nov 2012

It IS bloody awful and then some......does it still have the DMC standard engine or has the tw@t shoehorned another motor/gearbox combo in? :lol:


Re: Inside West Coast Customs; Will I Am's DMC spotted - Dangermouse - 26 Nov 2012

He claims it has a Chrysler drivetrain, but no photos of the engine bay have materialized yet

IF he didn't use a perfectly good, restored, early VIN and had given the credit to the people who actually customised it, I would appreciate it a bit more. All he needed was a spare underbody and a frame from DMC California and he would have had the same result!
I thought there were talks of it having an Audi R8 Engine but who knows... or cares.... :wink:

Basically a DeLorean with loads of lardy fibreglass bits bolted on and painted white.

Surprisingly, it is supposedly aluminium (or aluminum Wink )
