Then they could claim 100 % original sheet metal at BJ/ Mecum in 20 yrs when they finally finish it.The seller claims you can cut it at the cowl and replace the back half if you can find a donor,just trying to help some poor sole who buys this speciman.

The irony!

It's fine to replace any AND all panels on the car - quarters, floors roof, inner/outer wells, etc. as long as they meet the old chassis (or whatever is left of it) one at a time. The minute more than one gets attached at the same time, it's a rebody! Never mind that if the floors or wheel wells are repro - that doesn't seem to matter at all.

Personally, I'll buy a clipped car over a swiss cheesed car any day of the week!
