What I do find unusual is those that would want to scratch build a copy of something that has long since gone to the scrap yard and then claim it to be the original car reincarnate or a perfect copy of the original. As I said in my previous post one would have to state that they were building this car to the exact specification as it existed on a certain date and then recreate it warts and all to that spec, making allowances for modern safety requirements only.
