Default Re: Original vs Correct,, New Body Acceptable?

This is a crucial point, a rebody is done mainly to save money, and or time, which to most is money. Extremely valuable cars (original shells) have been thrown away because of the "rebody" philosophy. We all know and agree most if not all cars can be saved, given time and meticulous work. To replace an entire floor and quarters on a rare piece can take 200-300 hours, if you perform it with factory spot weld removal and factory seam panel placement. Why do GM NOS panels cost so much? Because there is value to originality.

To all members:

I will gladly come pick up the remains of all the rebody ZL1's, COPO's, Yenko's, Motions, Harrell's etc. and will even come and pick up all those worthless bodies free of charge. Even without titles. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
