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

[VintageMusclecar]

This topic is a double-edged sword.

I've personally had my ass ran up the flagpole <span style="font-style: italic">more than once</span> for informing a customer that they'd been duped into buying a re-stamped carb.

Sometimes people don't <span style="font-style: italic">want</span> the truth. They simply want you to validate the decision(s) they've already made.

The tough part is figuring out whom to tell and when to keep my mouth shut.

A guy that retools convertible mopar quarters told me the other day, he has informed more that a few folks that their convertible cudas and challengers were made out of coupes. That does not go over well either [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

That's way worse that having the wrong drive train! I imagine they are just numb and speechless. I would be.

How would they fool people if the fender tag and vin had the model right on there?
They must have used fender tags and vin tags from a convertible and put them on the chopped coupe. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] Which is the nasty re-body trick but in this case even nastier being a double whammy as a re-body and former coupe turned into a drop top. Wow

Yep, I would assume a re-tagged car. I could imagine someone could miss that the rockers on a convertible are heavier gauge as just <span style="font-style: italic">one</span> example. You could probably get enough stuff from a wrecked or rusted car, but odds are you would miss something an expert would find.
