Re: Why restore??
Mike, interesting to say the least. Talk about opening a can of worms. This could make the practice of "selling tags" big buisness. Talk about buyer beware, on down the road.

Re: Why restore??
Things were quieting down around here, so, it seemed like we needed a new hot topic.

Re: Why restore??
I precect that anyone with half a brain will be able to tell the difference between one of these and a real car. If it is anything like the aftermarket body parts I have seen they are just not the same. If you should lean too hard on one of these you just might leave a dimple in the body.

Re: Why restore??
I bet everything will fit up really nice too... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]... the money spent for fixing rot on an original would probably be doubled in paying a bodyman to get anything to bolt together...anyone ever work with reproduction stuff? If you ever have, you know what I'm talking about... nothing even comes close to fitting. Personally, i don't think that shell pictured is what they say anyhow... it looks like a real car to me... with about 4 coats of the correct "taiwan black" sealer/primer on it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] First sheep, now this! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

The sale of trim tags has been a "big (legal) business" for quite some time. [/ QUOTE ] Trim tags as well as riveted VIN plates and paper titles. Many years ago, I routinely stripped 1st. generation cars simply for parts when I could find them. While dismantling a 'plain jane' 69 Camaro, a potential buyer "begged" me for the VIN plate and title. I refused! As Al Colvin has said, " a correct original car should be able to stand on its own merit", meaning its component casting/part numbers and they're date codes should be within reasonable limits.
