[COPO]

It seems to me Joel's concept of using a vintage 69 Camaro body is more true to the original concept then taking a new 2002 Camaro and modifying it and calling it a "Dick Harrell" camaro. Of course our free market system will determine just how sucessful this concept is.

In regards to Joel's $1,500 verification fee, as Charley said, it is cheap compared to the value it creates for the owner. The amount of the fee should have nothing to do with the twenty minutes of time it might take to look through some files and write a letter. Using that concept, we sure wouldn't be paying sports stars, actors, doctors, etc., the multi millions they earn for their limited time. The other thing the fee does is discourage every Tom, Dick and Harry from pestering Joel to document any old car that happens to have a fly eye air cleaner or a set of finned valve covers.
