Hey if I was smart enough, I know for a fact that I could source EVERYTHING (for a price) for a Delorean. Alternators, Plug wires, Relays, Evaporators etc Can all be sourced or custome made. As long as Stainless Steel is being produced, panels "can" be made. As long Fiberglass is around a new body shell "can" be produced. That is the same with the frame, the wheels and every other part. Everything "can" be reproduced or sourced. All you need is time and $$$$ and it can all be yours for the taking. Seriously though, I go with the vendors on most things because of the "insurance policy" I have that the items will work and if they don't I have a person/business to go backto. In addition, I don't want the headache af re-inventing the wheel in some cases, or in other cases looking for another place to get a wheel when I already know where I can find one. I want to spend my time enjoy driving my car...while others may enjoy the hunt for parts. Just my opinion.
