I could be wrong about this,but wasnt there a certain TV show that was doing a buildup of a dynacorn body?If I remember correctly,that body was first shown in black primer as built by dynacorn.The next thing you know there are white weld marks and ground off paint all along the area where the cowl box is welded to the firewall.I dont want to make any waves here,but is it possible that this car had the firewall of a donor grafted to a dynacorn body? I also know that there was a company that was buying up rusty early camaros,cutting the firewalls out and building new cars around the existing firewall,then selling them.If I remember correctly the latest batch of "Real 1969 Baldwin Motion Camaros" were built this way.From time to time you will see cars on Ebay that were cut off where the rockers meet the firewalland at the A pillars,and may or may not have had subframes.Such cars were listed as "restorable with todays parts".It seems that this is going to be a very fast growing issue until all the clapped out old car bodies dry up,and that could take a while.

Here is another problem.as the cost of cars go up,it is more worthwhile to do a better job of hiding both rebody work and metal replacement in general.If a car is restored properly,how would anyone ever know that the sheet metal wasnt the original.Once the car is painted,if everything is done correctly even if you look into allthe nooks and crannies you should be able to tell if a car had quarters or wheelhouses or even framerails done on it.Wth the new once piece floorpans being made for Camaros even floows can be done without seams.I think right now you can get a pre assemble undercarrage for a camaro for just a few grand and even add to it from there.The part starts as full floors from toe boards to tail panel,with seat braces rear frame rails,gas tank straps and all other little hardware installed,the builter will then add complete rockers,inner and outer wheelhouses and trunk extentions.If you had a really bad camaro body you could add this assembly under it,buy a new ail panel,2 quarters,a roofskin,upperdash panel{which would require re-riveting the vin},and basically build a new camaro in your garage without the law knowing.If you did it perfect,and put all the original sound deadening spray,factory selaer and primers on it,and seal sealed it just right,who would know?
