I'm with you to a degree on the "...more accurate replica" issue. I really like it when people do that...I recall Dean Lampe's Hurricane build. I admire those who know enough and care enough to make their replicas more realistic...but I also love driving mine and it is nowhere near "realistic"...a small block V-8 in a big block body style ...someday there will be a big block in my future and in my replica.

I'm wholeheartedly with you about the addition of the VIN and particularly using one of AC's VINs...nobody I know likes a liar and that just REEKS of intent to decieve.

Cheers!
