Eric,To be honest, Neither you nor I could spot a restamp if it started with a factory original unstamped block using factory stamps,thats the whole reason i dont put any weight into "real" stamp pads,i put it all in the factory paperwork. Im shocked you would call a factory documented car and a non- doc car as the same. Especially given my first statement. Remember,factory paperwork=no stories or excuses,"original" motors just add to the paperwork,not the other way around.

I have kept my opinion to myself, on restamps and the ability to get the "right" kind of stamps to do it up to this point, when I was in college I worked for a company that made...you guessed it rubber and metal stamps. The font on the Vin tag, Body plate, and Engine/Trany stamp is not a special "Auto only" font only available to the manufacturers. And here is the kicker, it does not cost much to have a set made. So, I would say that as long as the machine surface on the deck is correct, it would not be hard to do a restamp that would fool 99.99% of the people.
