Default Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified

I guess my scenerio should be that both car number on and car number 2 had the same amount of original sheet metal.If car number 2 used the original firewall with the hiden vin numbers and original subframe from the supercar,but the body was cut at the A pillars and the toeboards and replaced from that point back with a donor,is it any worse then a car that has had all the same parts replaced by new metal?The new metal car would have no original metal expect part of the firewall and maybe a scrap or two around the trunk weatherstripping,other then that,each panel would have to be replaced on at a time from the toeboars to the tailpanel,roofskin to floorpans.

Everybody talks about how bad a rebody is or how bad the new Camro bodies are,but how would you fix a car like one of these or would you even fix them?
