I will be devils advocate for the bodies here and defend the use of them against popular opinion. But in the end I believe I have some pretty good arguements.
We changed at least 5 complete cowl / firewalls last year on original bodies, just finishing one now. And every stamped number in a Camaro is in the cowl or firewall. 9 out 10 cars through our shop get smooth firewall, and that eliminates 2 of the 3 stamped body numbers on every car.
If this makes a car NOT original, there are a awefull lot of NOT original cars out there.
Would it make it original if someone grafted in the stamped number from the original cowl into the new cowl?
