To me, it's not about what is done to the car it's about how it's represented after.

But maybe it's like JC455 said - what's the line between a restoration and a "recreation"? I doubt there's an answer to that one but when would this distinction matter? Sale or trade is obvious, but maybe also for insurance? Are there other scenarios where a car needs a dollar value assigned to it?
Sorry,I thought my three questions were pretty clear. Essentially looking to see how we as a community feel about this kind of work. And if it is worth going to this much trouble to save a Judge. I have the opportunity to do this to a 70 Judge using a 70 Le Mans Sport (no engine or panels from firewall forward) as a donor. At this stage I dont think it is right to do, but i'm very interested to see peoples views.

I think JC455 has it in a nutshell, in saying how does this "Graft" differ from replacing the interior floor, trunk floor and quarters?

I was also looking to see if anyone has actually done this, and just how much work it was.
