Restamping blocks??????????????

[SS427]

I was recently talking with a client about this very topic Sam and with regards to an LS6 Chevelle. What I told them was (other than I am about as honest as honest could be) I could very easily build an LS6 from a Malibu with full documents based on my database, experience and knowledge and pass it off as the real deal. If I can do it so can someone else. Whenever I inspect an LS6 for a customer this is what I tell them and exactly why I will not give them a certificate of authenticity, only a 10 page inspection report based solely on facts and my professional opinion. If I can fool an expert than it is only fair to say that an expert can fool me. Another reason why when I inspect a car I also try and do as much history searching on the car as I can. There is a list of restorers that one needs to potentially steer clear of due to their reputation of building clones "only for the customer and not for the sake of passing it off as a real car". Ok, whatever. I also try and research previous owners. LS6 and COPO cars that suddenly appear out of thin air with no previous history are always suspect. It is very hard to keep an LS6 or a COPO under wraps for 45 years with no one knowing about it. You are absolutely correct on anomalies in stampings based on changes made on the line. However, I know many of those and when they took place with regards to the LS6 Chevelle so again if I were going to fake a stamp I could easily add those anomalies.
