Seems like things like leg work and research and development aren't expected to be included in the cost of DeLorean parts in some folks minds. My father-in law always used to look at something and say " I'll bet a fellow could make that." Sure he probably could now that someone has laid the product under his nose. I don't know of a machine shop anywhere that will, for example, turn down the extruded aluminum blocks for the rear spring holders and drill and tap the holes for tightening them around the shock for $50 including materials. I've been an engineer with a major auto manufactuerer for 38 years and I have to say that the prices I've seen from the various vendors are no more inflated than the parts prices for your Ford, Chevy or Honda. Try $900 for a Ferrari distributor cap or $25,000 to replace the NSX rear quarter panel. IMHO there are a few egos that could stand a dose of humility out there. This list is made of folks from all walks, some with a serious engineering background and some who can't even find the battery in their car. There's no reason it can't be kept friendly. Bruce Benson
