Cars can last forever; people can't. I wonder what will be said about that car in 100 years?

My opinion of that magazine has just been lowered. Although that article could prove to be quite an important artifact in 100 years...

Hello,

and thanks for the kind words and not so kind words.

I would like to simply voice my opinion and reply to some of yours.

"Dont shoot the messenger!!!" very well put.HMM didnt build the car,i did.
In the beggining,i started out building a car that i always
wanted.Simple enough right? I love convertibles.I have always collected and restored them.I also wanted a dual carb car.So this camaro came along.Recently i found that chevy had a crossram intake.I must have lived under a rock.

Anyway,i started to build a convertible with a crossram and
learned that chevy actually made one!A million dollar plus
car in todays market.A car I shall never afford in this lifetime.

So i made my own!!! I wanted to make it as close to perfect as possible.Numbers date coded parts etc...you know the drill.I found that i can take it a step further......paperwork,pop etc....Since i would never own the original why not?

Then i found out why,after i displayed my cars doc's for the first time i got an "ear full" But what's done is done.I went to a few shows w/o displaying the paperwork.I learned how it is "tabo"to engage in such practice.Which i completely agree.Then i decided to display my Z/28 Convertible with all it's glory.With all doc's once again.But this time,openly and honestly admitting its fake.Not that i was going to try to pass it off as real before.And to let all to know this can be done.

You see,the thing is i'm the messenger.If it was me,my car,or the article that informed you of this practice then i'll consider myself successful.We now know that fake doc's,protect-o-plates etc.can and are being made...
IS IT A SURPRIZE TO YOU? surely not.

You guys are the experts right? But should this knowledge only be spread among yourselves? I dont think so.Do any of you guys have fake cars that you need to disclose? Have any of you purchased any of these fake docs your self? HMMM.....Now i can understand why you may be upset.

If anything i'm the only one to come forward with this
pratice."HEY GUESS WHAT,THIS CAR ISNT REAL!"
You should praise me.Unfortuanately some may see this and
decide to do it themselves.Ok i understand there point.But they can learn this anywhere from books or internet.Not from just my car.

Ultimately if everybody knows,such as buyers,sellers,dealers and builders,then the effectiveness of fake doc's will diminish.Making your guys happier,right?

Now,as far as Muscle car of The Year award.come on guys! where does it say it has to be a REAl car? who dug that one up? It simply has to fall within their criteria.

Also why cant this car be on the cover of Hemmings Muscle Machines? because it'fake? Have all the cover cars been real? Has every car in HMM been completely numbers matching totally original?HMM totally proves the fact that it's a counterfeit convertible....

My 3˘
I think you did a very nice job on a very well thought out car that you always wanted to own and enjoy.I would love to put that top down & drive that to any local Illinois cruise on any summer evening and enjoy it for what it is,not for what it's trying to be.
I could see how it's disappointing to some as it appears you've taken it a step further beyond the daily enjoyment line and now entered a misleading mentality.Unfortunately when you show honest people what was done,you're also teaching dishonest people what can be done,intended or not.
The muratic acid/saline solution process & Flint block syntax,along with the doctored paperwork seem to be the most talked about,up till midnight,head scratching,red flag of your entire ensemble that I see as taking the spotlight away from what the vehicle actually is and was built for.
The part where you state you won't disclose who made the documents,sounds like you might have known this was coming as well.
You say you wanted to show what could be done,and you have with great detail but personally I would stamp FAKE over the Flint pad syntax,destroy all the homemade paperwork,photograph their charred remains and display only the original unaltered few remaining documents that came with the RS convertible originally.
That would probably garnish more respect and say the same thing more subtly then the phoney docs ever did when displayed next to the vehicle.
That's a beautiful homemade car you've created..enjoy it!
