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

Motown, I'm not making my comments to you or anyone else in particular - just stating my thoughts on the matter. As for a rebody being legal from the cowl back - not in Ontario! I bought a wrecked 67 RS/SS a few years ago and it came with another stripped rust free shell - both tags and titles came with the cars. The seller gave me the story about having the police or Ministry of Transport, Ontario "supervise" the VIN removal and reinstallation on the new shell. I called the MTO and the OPP and they told me that this was not true and that the only way to do this was to have a salvage title issued for the "new" combined vehicle. I took the liberty to ask about the practice of changing out the firewall and cowl pieces that so many do up here and I was told that this was ILLEGAL because the donor shell was, and I quote, "more substantial" than the cowl piece. I was left with the impression that it is ok to back half a car, but that's it.

BTW Motown, I've sent you two private emails recently with no reply. Doesn't the address listed in your profile work?
