Ahhh......THE FRUSTRATION........
[ QUOTE ] no question he's free to do as he chooses.. Even the flip-flop statements of what he's gonna' do w/ the hokey 'documents' later don't matter.. Cool car and all, it just all makes me wonder how do threads that seemingly accept praise for cars and positions such as this fit in here on this of all sites?!  ~ Pete [/ QUOTE ] good question,I dont know how this car appeared on this site to begin with.I was not a member of this site.Last year it appeared on this site.Somebody informed me of it with a link on an email.Then again and again it appeared on this site.This thread initially started out as a positive compliment for making the cover of Hemmings Muscle Machines.But then soon turned somewhat south.I'm not complaining as this is the choice i took after realizing how controversial it became.I stuck with it and will continue do do so. as far as being flip flop.i will continue to do so.....I'm not running for office so my character can be shady if i may choose.I may just display all without any remorse. thank you for letting me see the light without any guilt..... Wait till you see my next project it may be, a Z16 convertible L79 67 nova. ZL1 69 camaro.... but perhaps i wont say anything on whats fake or not.... WATCH OUT!!!!!!!

[/ QUOTE ] Wagonman, do whatever you want to make yourself happy and forget about what everyone else thinks* *but if you stick with the above stated position, the moment you try to sell your next "project" to someone without disclosing that it's a fake and has counterfeit docs, you can then say goodbye to the car (it will get seized), your house (you will have to sell it for the attorney's fees), and several years of your freedom (because there is no defense to such an easy case of VIN tampering and mail/wire fraud). Just some free legal advice from an attorney. (That reminds me of the old oil filter commercial: You can pay me a little now...or you can pay me a whole lot later)  Just think, right now there's a lawyer or two out there just salivating on how you are going to pay for his kid's braces, cosmetic surgery, and tuition to an Ivy league school based on your next move.  By the way, I'd vote for the 1970 LS6 Camaro that they were supposed to make, but cancelled. That would be cool.

That last statement by you is what all of us honest folks in the hobby are afraid of. Not only by YOU, but by many others who have tried it (some successfully) and others who are contemplating it. Whether or not your initial intentions were as you say, I still have an extreme objection to what you have done. I also have an extreme objection to the Hemmings magazine putting your car on the COVER. As I said before, it's a bitter-sweet situation. I have strong negative feelings toward the magazine for doing that, but I also am glad that the issue will (should) follow your car forever, so that no one can try to prove the car is legit. I've spent the last 25 years of my life trying to compile information needed to verify the authenticity of 58-64 full sized Chevrolets, and I will NEVER EVER condone the making of a cowl tag, or ANY fake documentation of ANY kind. The only information that should EVER be displayed with your car is the ORIGINAL documentation. As far as I'm concerned, your car might as well have a blower through the hood. It's a "modified" car, and nothing more (no matter how nice it is). In 100 years, is the copy of the magazine article still going to be in the trunk????????????????????? You can't answer that question. Verne

Re: New Hemmings Cover
Calm down fellas. He is getting his button pushed and is pushing back. The car is nice enough to be on the cover of a magazine and I don't think Hemmings has a policy of only featuring cars with real documentation. With the quality of work you do you might as well do it to a real car next time.

Re: New Hemmings Cover
Dog, They seemed to make that a theme of that issue. 3 cars (I think) were singled out as "never were, but could have been". A pretty lame theme for that magazine, in my opinion....
