If want this body, its gonna require a little work.

So far, the solution I see to making this body is getting a 3d cad file

http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/download.aspx?3dmodel=68559

found one for ya. Scale the model to the size you need then have it 3d printed up as mold to create the body.

I dont know a thing about making actual bodies so hopefully someone who has some knowledge on the subject can help.

some guy was trying to make 1/10 delorean bodies according to another forum. but getting permission to use the delorean was not going well. they wanted some large fee to allow him to produce it. that was a few years ago.

I thought DMC was out of business.

the old DMC is out of business, but there is a new company that has been in the works to reproduce this car. Have been around for awhile:

Normally I'd say sure, lets see what happens BUT they're on the licensing take so it appears :roll:

Do what Dahm's did, and what RJ speed currently does...don't call it a Delorean but name it something that people will get the idea that it's a Delorean.

e.g. Dahm's Type P, O, T, L & M stock car bodies or RJ Speed's Talledega. ;)

Re-packaged Kyosho Super Alta. I can understand why that might be worth that much to a collector.
