If anyone is interested in this process for any part on the DeLorean or some other project let me know. I work for a company that does this. We scanned an existing 70ft boat, made the design changes then produced a new mold for the company all in 5 months. This is the same process I used on the headliner backing boards. I now have the molds if anybody would like a set. We are able to take are probe to the part so the car does not have to come apart to get the shape of the panels.
