Steve,
Good point.
As for the body's, I really don't think that the company that produces the bodies did it to intentionally deceive anyone. It's the individual that buys the body, makes a clone and attempts to pass off the completed car as an original car that is doing the deceiving.
Believe me the differences between the repop bodies and original sheetmetal is such that any competent body shop can improve and make them correct.
OK, now back to our regularly scheduled debate....again.
