I would agree with this. I love clones. Nothing at all wrong with building a super sport or whatever out of a base model. However, I think a line is crossed when the tags get changed. While the original builder / owner may never represent the car as something it is not, who know what kind of fraud will occur 20 years from now when the car changes hands a few times.
Clone away, but leave the cowl tag as delivered by GM. JMO.
Beautiful car, by the way. You did an amazing job on it! </div></div>
X2 -- some of us cannot afford the "real thing" and build a clone/tribute type vehicle ... the line is crossed when it is passed off as the "real deal" to an unsuspecting buyer. TAZ
