Just to be clear: I'm not bashing Worman on this. He clearly exposed an ugly side of our hobby. My thoughts are as follows:

1. Customer's out probably good money for what turns out to be a re-body.
2. Car is now widely known as a re-body, negatively affecting value whatever its future entails.
3. Law enforcement/DMV may have a big issue with this, as is often discussed here.
4. I'd hate to not only be that customer, but to risk further investment if his DMV is inclined to seize the car.

Replacing a damaged upper tie bar is one thing, no problem there legally.
But that isn't what happened in this case.
Hope it somehow works out, but the lesson of course is to thoroughly inspect big-money cars pre-purchase.
