The problem is 2 owners from now the car gets passed off as #s matching.
Making a car correct is fine. I see no need for forging vins. That is making a fake. Use all the right parts, but i disagree with trying to make it appear it is an original #s matching engine, tranny or rear end.
A side note, i discussed this before with a vette guy and complained of it being accepted in thier circles.
His response was that guys don't want to lose the points in Judging.....
That's like telling a proffessor "i cheated because i wanted an A"
can't condone vin or tag doctoring
