Does anyone agree with my view over at TC?

I still don't understand why this guy is stamping all of these parts with vins etc...

Ok, I went back and read his post and I read your claim and I looked at his website. You asked him on the other forum[ QUOTE ]
Wow 69396SS, whats up with all the number stamping you've got going on?

I saw where he said the tranny is VIN correct but where is "all the number stamping" I didn't see anything but the tranny. You are insinuating more then what he is openly claiming and I can see how he would get a little hot with you.

Rick, I too wonder now how this got started as I just read the post on TC and it looks like some of them have been deleted. I don't see any mention of the O & Y paint codes and I tend to agree with you as to why this guy got a little hot. There is something there that I am missing but if it is only about the trans then I don't see anything else wrong unless he does try to pass it off as original.

As for the paint codes, in the Chevelle line (others excluded) those colors were only available on the SS models in 69 without having to special order the paint color, that is why there are the other models of the Chevelles with those colors. (I have read you PM but I had already started this reply.) This is documented in all of the GM literature for the Chevelle that year. No conspiracy either, just don't need to give the counterfeiters any more information than they have, especially on a public forum BTW, thanks for the info on the other car.............RatPack...........

In his sig he talks about how he has a repop trim tag to match his car, then in one of his later posts he says his transmission that he just purchased is correct date coded and vin stamped.

He said he wants to car to be a "correct" LS6 (the car started life as a malibu) and so far he's stamped the trans, purchased a false trim tag.... Why wouldn't he do the rest.

Mr70, thanks a bunch for posting those pictures! They make things a lot clearer.

Thanks, mr70. Is that enough evidence for you, Rick H? Are you going to offer up a picture you took as evidence to the contrary?
