Recently, and in the past, the subject of the dies for the body panels comes up. As usual, the topic is one of 2 things: How could we slavage the dies, or, how could we recreate them? Well, there's one question that's been going thru my mind, that no one has seemed to answer yet. Assuming they were re created, or a spare set was saved from that watery fate; What in the world are we supposed to do with them once we have them? People are not exactly smashing up cars at any alarming rate that dictates a mass production of any 1 panel in the near future. And there is no more DeLoren Motor Company to build new cars to make the panels for. Even if there was, body panels would be the cheapest thing to buy/make. To keep the car economical, we would have to purchase every other item on the car in bulk. From engines to fir tree clips. Never mind at this moment we have no dealer network to sell the cars off. Sorry to go off subject, and to bring everyone down. But it is the truth. Of course I'm somebody who's always willing to take up what everyone else thinks is a lost cause... ;) -Robert vin 6585
