proper yenko rebody? (in new hemmings)

[racegump]

I think that if a car has honest repairs, no matter how bad it was, it is restored. To me that means stripping it to bare metal and replacing the items that are needed, not taking the easy route and switching the cowl/tag, etc. If a car is so rusted, burned, or wrecked to the point that no good metal is left it is junk and should be considered gone. To use the tag or cowl from a car like that and try to claim it as restored or re-bodied is a joke.
