69 Camaro Body in the Crate

-PANTERA-"What we are afraid of is, some of the unscrupious people in the business that are just out to make a buck at the expense of the hobby."

Exactly, and just the same point I was suggesting!

Dynacorn,
I don't think this whole issue is about the ability to manufacture something, or your opportunity to be able to do so.
For me, personally, it has been commonplace in our 69 Camaros for years to 'fake one by' before we all took notice or knew a friend who got jerked just trying to be a Camaro owner; albeit, what was bought was thought to be the original issue.
I considered changing my trim tag info just to satisfy my likings, not to convince with false intenses to the masses but, it was just for me.
Trim tags were swapped often, and that brings me to the direction of the ability to swap a VIN on the shell you represent as that section seems to have been stamped for such an application.

Many of us could simply downplay this forever!
Howabout I SUGGEST to you, Dynacorn, to stop providing the VIN location opening in all further shells that you manufacture?
Since the Law of our land is difficult at times, and none of us desire to really spend what that takes to represent such interests, howabout actually walking the road of acceptance that caters to protecting the originality of the existing cars, by eliminating the opportunity to use the opening for the VIN that was initially intended back in 1969 and keep that portion of your dash/shell/reproduction blank?

Bill Gates is now redefining Microsoft, and so is GM redesigning itsself as well!
Heck, even our own government is rethinking the current Iraq situation....
just my thoughts.....

Last add....
To the Clary's:
You folks started this site I am sure with a certain intention.
What is you opinion on this topic?
Afterall, this is your site!

As west coast assemblers for Dynacorn Bodies and as previously mentioned we will stamp a serial number three times on every body and one will be stamped in a area that will be less conspicuous. If anyone thinks the car they are buying is less than what the seller is saying it is, than that person can contact us and we will assist them. I do not condone the swapping of VIN tags and trying to pass the car off as something it is not. And I know that was not Dynacorns intent either when this project began. But stamping a new dash blank and excluding the VIN location won't stop anyone trying to deceive a potential buyer by just cutting in there own VIN location hole in the dash. I guess there will always be unscrupulous people out there trying rip someone off whether it be with cars or whatever they are trying to sell. And these people are so smart that whatever prevention we put in place they will always find away around it. One our jobs is to assist people in anyway to prevent that from happening, through this forum or by contacting people/companies like ours to help. For American Muscle Cars Inc. and myself we are passionate about Muscle Cars and the quality of our product and will do what it takes to help stop fraud whether it be with Dynacorn bodies or someone trying to pass off a car as something it is not. What American Muscle Cars Coach Works Inc. is doing is keeping records which will include what Dynacorn dealer has ordered the body, who the end user is and how many cars we assembled and where they are shipped to, to help prevent any fraud. If anyone out there has any suggestion to assist us please contact us.

Providing the perfect stamp cut opening is making this easier for this action to occur!

By leaving that area blank, stamping a specific code in that exact area-one that covers more than the area needed for an original VIN plate, if removed, shall remove ALL doubt what the origin is of that reproduction assembled body!

Let's be RESPONSIBLE about this!
Is it RESPONSIBLE not to act in good faith to protect the originals from the adjusted?
Your proactive action in doing so will remove all doubt!

All that would do is make someone buy a replacement dash top which already has the cutout in it as these have been sold for years.

Thanks again Mark.

We will also stamp that serial number in a place not seen. If anybody suspect someone trying to pass off a Dynacorn body for an original they can contact us and we can tell them where to look.

In spite of the snob comment which was stupid...I think this paragrapgh sums up what people will need to know and why this is being discussed in the first place.
