Original vs Correct,, New Body Acceptable?

[MotownMadman]

The big question is: Is it acceptable in the collector car world to take a collector car that has the back half of the body extremely damaged by rust or previously cut up, to rebodie the car using the original frame and other componants? I have heard conflicting ideas on this and would like to get the opinions of the serious collectors on this site. Also, is it correct in thinking that an original car is just that, "original" with nothing removed or replaced, and a "correct" car is a car that has one or many major componants replaced with correct application and date coded parts? Lets here some thoughts on this. Thanks, Motown. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
