Wow, strong opinions guys. But relax, I for one couldn't care less about the VINS on my car. It will be nice but it will be a clone regardless of which approach I take (ie big block, aar, etc) Basically I couldn't be bothered even if I had all the necessary stuff to do this anyway. I asked because I was curious about a discussion a buddy of mine and I had. Just for arguements sake, if you take the most rusted out hulk of a car, (lets say a hemi cuda just for fun) and replace the fenders, hood, quarters, floors, part of the floor,part of the cowl, some of the frame rails and rework the rest of the car to rid yourself of the rust, etc aren't you rebodying the car anyway??? it would basically be a different car. To me there's not too much difference between this and switching the vins, paperwork etc from that same rusted out hulk to a straight body. Lets hear your opinions on this, fundamentally I know you wouldn't be restoring the "original car" but a complete restoration of a total rustbucket would leave you with very little of the "real car" left anyway. Anyway, relax guys. My little 318 automatic barracuda soon to be aar cuda will have the original numbers...if you don't believe me you'll just have to check the car out in about 20 years from now when it might actually be finished.
