Original vs Correct,, New Body Acceptable?

[68TopStock]

MM,

I was not referring to anyone, just voicing my opinion. I hope you realize that when a body is switched, it is not the car it was. What happens to the "leftover" car body?
Anyone care to admit to what they are storing for future use?

I have heard of valuable cars undergoing this process, and the equally hard to understand "cowl clip". It is just that eventually the car will be sold as the "real deal", when it was orginally a 6 cylinder car body, with its own unique serial numbers stamped on it. Any changes to the VIN stamping and I think it would be considered fraudulant, to a reasonable thinking individual. Hasn't this been covered before?

How many of the restorers who have conducted a rebody, have admitted it, and signed an affadavit to this effect to go along with the cars paperwork? If not, why? It seems this is becoming an accepted practice and so common, what is there to fear? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]
