Don’t forget part number 100169 Intermediate Drive Shaft.
I’m specifically talking about the Universal Joint at each end of the Drive Shaft.
In November 2013 I had to buy good used Universal Joints from DeLorean Motor Company Northwest since there are no new ones available. Please somebody make some new Universal Joints as I hate the ones I have now.
The turn signal and wiper control stalks are currently available as I picked up on January 26, 2016 at DMC Northwest an unused assembly still in a plastic bag for $131.19. It was an expensive mistake on my part for breaking the very important black plastic and i decided to replace the entire assembly. I donated my original assembly to the pile of used parts collecting at DMC NW.

CV joints are available. No reason to buy used unless you want complete refurbished assemblies.

Is this something that's actually in place?
I only ask because it sounds like a good idea and I have a pile of my own used parts that could be helpful to someone, but only if they don't get thrown out. Do other vendors or clubs or pockets of owners do this?
I wouldn't want to see it turn into a thing where the holder of the parts is trying to make money off of it, but instead has this kind of used parts pile for any owners that are in a bind and just need to get their car going again and not perfect or brand new looking in that problem area.

This is not true. CV joints are readily available, and very affordable (as low as $55). There is nothing special about our CV joints. It is a very common misconception that these are not available (not sure why). They have been available new for years. They are the exact same CV joints used on 1975-1989 Porsche 930/911 Turbos. They are also extremely popular both in mid-engine racing culture, and in dune buggy culture. You can buy ones manufacturered by Empi, GKN Lobro (our OEM supplier), Kartek, or Pro-Am.

These are all the same CV joints that we use on our cars. Most of these listed are actually way overkill for our cars compared to the torque that a rock crawler, dune buggy, or 911 turbo puts through them, but they're also very affordable.
You can purchase them brand new for $55 each here: http://www.pacificcustoms.com/porsche930cv-empi-1.html

Even the original manufacturer of our CV joints (GKN Lobro) still makes them and sells them for $107 each (though I'm sure the EMPI joints are fine for our cars) http://www.pacificcustoms.com/porsche930cv-german.html

If you've got money to burn, you can even buy race prepped and lightened CV joints for $257 each (maybe these will be on the 2017 DeLorean) : http://www.pacificcustoms.com/porsch...-proam-lp.html

I'm really not sure why all of the vendors (aside from DPI) don't carry these.
I actually use the oversized CV joint boots and large boot flanges sold by these guys for my boots. Finally no more torn boots. The flanges also allow the joints to operate at an even larger angle if necessary.

I'd love to buy a stainless fuel tank closing plate that is stamped like the original. Anyone making those?

Rob Grady used to have one that looked very close to the factory stamping.
