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

Whitetop, As I stated earlier I have never done a rebodie, yet I would not rule it out if the situation called for a extremely rare car and no other way to fix it. As for the ZL-1 in the link? That body is a piece of cake to fix, I have personally fixed many worse as I also live in the salt belt, and the pollution in Detroit in the seventies I can assure you was just as bad if not worse than Ohio. COPO Pete made a good point...when you get a new heart you do not become the other person. As for the FBI mentioned earlier on in this thread, believe me they have bigger fish to fry then a guy trying to save or restore his classic car. I will not go into the details on how I know that, but I do have experience with law enforement at the federal level. It all comes back to buyer awareness and what the owner and/or buyer is comfortable with, but I would not buy a high dollar restored car without a complete photo record.
