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

I kind of view it as if a car was human. If a person is sick or gets in an accident, and gets a new heart, eyes, kidney, whatever.... does he or she become the person that the parts came from...... Nope! I think it is real important to take lots of picture as well. When I restore a car, I take pictures all the way along. So in the event I sell it, the buyer can see how good it was, or how bad it was. And if it was bad, they need to see it was fixed properly. I don't go for restamps as I feel you are really trying to fool someone. I've had offers to restamp stuff on my cars, but when you own a collection of any size, if you get caught restamping, everything you own becomes a question mark. I've put "IF" wheels on a car till I could find "XT's" It's interesting because it has happened where someone is contacted because they found the original motor for their car..... and it's supposedly already in the car. Wow, that car came with two motors!!!!
