You should ask them! I expect that the answer is YES. With enough
money, anything is possible.

When Kapac owned the warehouse they sometimes gave tours. They showed us
a partially finished DeLorean that they were slowly building from spare
parts. Remember, this was a warehouse, not a factory, so they did not
have the fixtures, tools, and machinery to do things efficiently. The
car had to be built by hand in "spare" time. Ask Dave Stragand what that
is like.

The labor to assemble a DeLorean by hand would probably cost twenty times
as much as the parts.
