No, but they do make a generic harness. Since the DeLorean is bascially standard 60s/70s British the generic harness will do quite nicely. I'd be tempted to look at Jeep harnesses since they include extra circuits and water proofing...
My basic plan is go ground up with the Pierce Designes SS frame, new wiring, Porsche transmission, Microtech LT-12, 20B and some large single turbo. I'd also like to do the interior in cloth (leather is something I hate) and modernize it a little (and NOT like DMCH's modern interior...yuck).

Yeah, not a huge fan of the leather seats. Crack-prone, bland, and let's face it: hot-in-summer, cold-in-winter, slippery-in-corners seating is not a good choice in any car.
There are a few companies making SS backbones.
There's a car on Ebay right now for $6,900 with a crappy frame, rough interior, and non-running engine. Scary if you want a stock D, perfect if you plan on a frame and engine swap.

That eBay car is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I can't find it on eBay...not that I have the time for another project right now....
That's the modern interior. The basic shape of the dash is nice, but I hate the white accents and the gauge cluster seems to be tacked on. I prefer the real DMC dash as it's more FC/FB like.

Here's the eBay car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Delor...QQcmdZViewItem
but I think some people are just seeing 'De Lorean' and bidding - it's up to over $9,000 USD, which is rediculous for a non-running, rusted frame, beat interior car.

Ha, $9000 US for that! Suckers. 
For $9,000 I'd expect to be buying a fully functional daily driver with a few rough interior and exterior spots, not a car in need of restoration.

That interior is very modern... but that gauge cluster has to go! Way too tacked on!!!
What you can't forget is the flux capacitor!! No DeLorean is complete without one...

when i was growing up, my next door neighbor used to ship his delorean down to mexico and back one every couple of months.
it wasn't until he got busted that i found out he was smuggling coke with it!!

yea man... of course you're going to auto-transport a car as rare as a delorean, so everyone just overlooked it.
i'm not sure how accurate this is, but the neighbors were talking about how the border patrol just randomly selected vehicles/cargo for the dogs to sniff, so it was dumb luck he got caught. but that's what my neighbors said way back whern... i don't know if it was totally true.

Hey Aaron - I just secured internet distribution rights to DOT compliant HID upgrade kits. Not the cheap crap that just replaces the bulb and adds a ballast, but complete kits with projector, ballast, igniter, clear lens, and wiring.
