Default Re: Restamping blocks??????????????

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bergy</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I could look at it either way Sammy. There's a Pace Car on eBay with factory engine, trans, and rear. It's pretty clear that if/when restored it won't have any original sheet metal on it - none. So, will that car (when restored) be more &quot;original&quot; then an original sheet metal car with original engine &amp; rear, but replacement trans? I'd pay more for the original sheet metal car sans original trans. JMHO - I'd also say that the original sheet metal car in this example is more deserving of Gold.</div></div>

I had this discussion years back with I think Marlin about that. I am more in favor if something has to be original let it be sheetmetal, subframe, interior and things that you can see.
My Z/28 has a correct dated replacement motor. I would rather have that then a rebodied car with
born with&quot; drive train and maybe just the cowl tag if I had to make a choice.
