Have you forgotten about the quality of the dies in question? DeLorean was planning to produce 40,000 cars a year. Unless the dies were severly damaged in the water, I feel that they should be in excelent shape with only minor restoration. Why would John risk loosing his company over a cheaply created die set? Also, if you think about it, the company spent millions in developement of almost every system implimented in the car. Why would he skimp on one of the most important peices of equipment to make his automobile. As for every DML'er to jump off a boat and dive just to see these dies, we need a sophisiticated plan which will alow for mistakes, both human and equipment, to successfully recover the dies. If we do this, we can make our DeLoreans last forever. Tom Porter Vin #: (next year)
