The only catch is if you build it from scratch its considered a 2003 car... which means it might have to meet newer regs in some states.

Its a great way to go for a race car that will never see the street.

im a bit confused, most kit cars are built on older chasis, like third gens and fieros. i didnt know you could build a car from scratch.

they probably took it off because they were just advertising, stating do not bid etc.

it from them i emailed the on e aby with this question:

i really like what you have done, i have a few questions regarding
assembly, how hard would it be to assemble? also how would i register this
car? or owuld i have to buy a rusted out 69 and switch it over?


and this is there answer:

All you do is bolt on all of your accessories. This body panel is for rust
repair and meant to replace your rusted out panel.
Thank You,
The Parts Place

so i dont know i fyou can build a complete car from it, but from their add on e bay, thats what they were leaning to from my point of view.

The only problem there is it is illegal to remove or replace a VIN tag. Therefore how are you going to be able to legally register the car?

I think they are just wanting you to buy a rusted Camaro of say 1969 model year... Then replace all the rusted panel with their panels. Thus the car is still a 1969 Camaro, just it has new panels rather than the old rusty ones.
