"Restoration drive train" is a term Jerry MacNeish uses in his reports for restamped components. Goes hand in hand with JohnZ's "restoration graffiti" as applied to all the chalk marks on firewalls and inspection marks on every component under the hood on over restored cars.

And restoration bodies already exist, they are made by Dynacorn and since they never were a "car" you can transfer your VIN and tags over to them, as they are just a giant repair part, not a car. But thats a subject thats already been beaten to death.

OK Im not an attorney but I am now wondering what happens with one of those Camaro or mustang bodies if you change the whole body do they come with a new vin or ......??????

Same legal problems if you put another car's VIN on it. The correct and legal way to do it would be to apply for a state identification number (similar to a VIN but issued by the DMV). Most states have specific guidleines for the process which is usually used when people build kit cars or street rods.

By the way I forgot to mention something else on the donor body issue. If you use a "donor body" you are essentially tampering with that car's VIN by removing/destroying it. That is a whole other felony as well.

2 cents?

It's always big fun when a car comes back to life.

I remember one rebody discussion a couple years ago when BOTH cars came back to life! You guys remember that one right? It was a copo or a zl1 or something. We were all seeing double for a while. Pretty sure it started kinda like this one, 'cept in that case, 1 car had the vin and cowl tags, and the other had the hidden vins.

Never heard the end or truth of that one, won't on this one either.

I do really like the attitude of "SAVING" the rare "CAR" tho. (LMFAO!)
