My question is a multiple question.I know in the near future if not happening already is 1969 Camaros being that were Supercars when new but now are a foot away from the junkyard but are revived with these new bodies.I know it is illegal to put the vin numbers on these car,But I am wondering if anyone has seen these new bodies & if it is possible to put the old vin numbers & cowl tag on these new bodies & the only way to tell if it is real is by looking by the heater box or removing the cowl.I know I just saw a thread with,Where is the hidden vin's but it must have got cleared.If it is possible & the only way to tell is by removing the Cowl or Heater & the car is just finished I'm pretty sure the seller is not going to let anyone around his car with a wrench.My other question is similar but of a different make but still Supercar.I saw at the 2005 Barrett Jackson there was a Black Hemi Cuda that was said to have been a REBODIED CAR because the original car was damaged in a fire.I see alot of them in the Mopar cars & it seems to be alright because the prices of these cars are not that much lower than a real car.I don't know how they REBODY cars but my guess is the drivelines of the original cars, vin tags,And do they go thru the trouble of putting the other parts with the vin #'s on the car also by cutting them out putting them onto the other car I'm not sure,But if anyone knows I sure would like to know.There might be alot of dissatisfied buyer out there if those car were sold later down the road when everyone forgets about them & now the REBODY is not stated anymore.Thanks Irvin

Not likely that a dynacorn body would fool many people. Original bodies have die set Fisher body plant and date impact style stampings in multiple places. Those are not on the Dynacorn bodies and would be hard to reproduce.

I think guys will get fooled by the Dynacorn bodies, especially if someone actually had the original rusted out car they were trying to restore. All they would have to do is cut the firewall, roof and original back seat and package tray out of the original and weld it all up to the Dynacorn body. They will still retain all the original rivets and hidden VIN's. They can say they started with the original and replaced the 'new' parts instead of the other way around.

Whether builders are trying to fool anyone or not, wouldn't you expect the bulk of the buyers of these bodies be guys w/ rusted cars they'll be using the identities from?.
How much they retain of an original car will be up to how educated they may be (or want to appear) in regards to repairs methods, tag jumping...and of course deception?. Everyone ready for a new wave of 'fun' in the Camaro world!?. ~ Pete ![]()

Correct me if i'm wrong but aren't the firewalls being made totally different from original? I had heard this being the case that has something to do with GM licensing

these bodies will work great for a pro-touring project, but not for a complete body change on a numbers matching Z28 or something like that.
