Steve,

What's the number I want to call and get a flux capacitor, and 
actually see what shows up.

And to all, are there any instructions out there on how to build a 
replica?

Owning two cars, I tend to show the SS one and would really like to 
have a dummy flux capacitor for show.  Most people only know the car 
for BTTF.

Thanks,

Bernie
