Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
Reading this i can't help but think of the yellow duece that is sitting in that field rotting. There really is nothing left of that car but the firewall. So does it get left in the feild to be reclaimed by mother earth?. Becouse it is now a known car to the enthusiests here anybody doing anything to it will not be able to pass it off as anything but a rebody. Sure it may not be as sought after as an original body but it will still be a duece and it will be saved. Does that make it a bad plan?. It may cost more to save it than it is worth so does that mean that the guy doing it is going to be chastised as being an idiot and dumped on by endless taunting, then he will think twice along with anybody else associated with the build as ever trying to save another rare car again. I think that reboding a car is fine as long as the car is represented as such and full history as to what happened to the car. I think for the most part the main problem is someone trying to pawn something off as being real when it's not. Well if the owner has the real shell, uses that to build another he has the right to do what he wants with it. Where would the fraud come from, by making copies?. Now that would be the problem. Personally i would like to see it saved and i would praise anybody who does it, unfortunatly seeing some of the taunts on here i know there will be a few naysayers.
