The topic refers to a chevelle in this instance, therefore it would be replacing a rusted body with a rust free. I wouldn't worried about the new camaro body, it is my understanding they are easily identified.

There is no "certifying " them. Replacing a rusted car's body with an entire new body and placing the old car's VIN on the new car is illegal under the Federal as well as state statutes. There is no exception for restoring a car of significant historical value (though I think there ought to be). This falls under the same auto theft/VIN swapping statutes and it is illegal.
