Mind you, I like the idea of Titanium bodies panels for the Delorean, might reduce the weight a little :)

There was a talk on them at the DMCH open house last year and I *think* 
the general consensus was that the cost of salvaging and restoring them 
would be greater than having new ones made. However, if they're coming 
up anyway...

FWIW I know a company who has the facilities to use these presses. They 
are in welwyn garden city and use huge hydraulic presses the size of a 
house, coupled with an 800 degree C oven to form titanium jet engine 
parts. Amoung other things, they make the sinks and toilets on Boeing 
aircraft.
