Is this a rebody?

My point is, if this Camaro was fixed using another car would it be a rebody??....I understand how the law is written, but I think any judge would understand if a person bought both cars to save one...the law should be based on bad intention..or fraud...If you save all of the original car that can be saved..even if it is just a small portion....you did not re-body the car...(of course it must have the part with the VIN) in my opinion....

No I wouldn't consider this a rebody, personally I would rather have one done this way then done with all repro metal.

The law is written and interpretted by prosecutors and judges very strictly. Whether it is fair in application or not is unfortunately, irrelevent.

If people think there should be an exception for restoration purposes, you need to start contacting your local congresspersons and ask them to draft an exception.

Just because you don't think the law should apply doesn't mean it won't be applied. I imagine there are a whole lot of people in prison who followed that principle.

For example, the law of Bank Robbery is pretty straightforward = robbing a federally insured bank. I remember a case where the badguy actually tried to use that type of defense in a bank robbery case. He didn't think the law applied to him. It went something like this: "I wasn't robbing a bank, I was taking money from people and it wasn't their money, therefore you must find me innocent and set me free."

It was a 15 minute jury deliberation (including lunch) GUILTY.
