Just remember a talented builder WILL have all the numbers transferred from the original body to the rebody shell and it will damned near impossible to tell that it has been done. Scary....but true.
Jim had two body shells. One was original but rooted, and one was perfectly placed to become the rebody.
He decided to cut up the second shell and use parts of it to repair the original shell with the addition of new AMD metal and a signature on a big check. And all because he has been brainwashed by the VIN Nazis.
