Don`t jump to conclusions from some article and without the facts.I didn`t read the whole bill but here is a small excert from it-
" “Rebodied vehicle” means a vehicle:
a. which has been assembled using a new body or new major component which is of the identical type as the original vehicle and is licensed by the manufacturer of the original vehicle and other original, new or reconditioned parts. For purposes of this paragraph, “new body or new major component” means a new body, cab, frame, front end clip or rear end clip, and
b. which is not a salvage, rebuilt, or junked vehicle as defined by paragraphs 1, 2, or 5 of subsection A of Section 1105 of this title, and
c. for which the Tax Commission has assigned or will assign a new identifying number."
I don`think "new body or major component" means a 1/4 panel.I agree that it is done all the time so why not deal with it legally and correctly instead of just having self appionted re-body police trying to.
