This topic always brings up different opinions.

Personally I would much rather have a car's original build sheet than it's origina fender tag

I do find it amusing that some people won't consider buying a car with a repop fender tag, especially one made from an original build sheet, but have no issues with a car with new Chinese made quarters, doors, fenders, floors, interior and trim parts, etc.

Replacement parts on a 50 year old car don't change the underlying original pedigree of the car. (Who wants to drive with a 50 YO fan belt, radiator hose or tires?) Sheet metal on a 318 car is pretty much the same as a Hemi car.

A fender tag is one of the items used to document originality. Sheet metal doesn't.

Thats pretty much it, right there.

Then of course there are those that dance around it ethically by claiming that the fender tag is just a part, like a door or a water pump.
