Thanks Hugger...I haven't owned a Canadian car in years, so I don't need any Canadian paperwork at this point. Thanks for the offer anyway. I guess the other part that caught me strange about your post was that the email address was something like "[email protected]", which lead me to beleive the seller was in the business of selling these pieces. Again, I did not know it was you or a member of this site.

Hvychvy: Yes, they looked new to me also, but as most know, the counterfieters can make those look aged quite easily with a little tea and sunlight. In the mid 90's I was more involved with NCRS judging in the Bow Tie (unrestored class) and the stories of how people were making new parts and paperwork look old were unbelievable!

I think I am particulary sensitive to this after the problems that arose last year with a car that I was looking to purchase. The car was real and the seller was being honest with me, but someone 20 years prior had made up a fake buildsheet and caused us all a lot of greif. As much as all of this comes with the teritory as these cars get more and more expensive, it doesn't make it any more acceptable to me. We all have different tolerance levels for fake paperwork, restamps, rebodies etc. and I guess I am just one of those who are not overly tolerant.

Thanks for explaining your point of view...
