I think the lawyers and insurance people got wind of what they were doing and put a stop to that. Making use of old parts and new parts together , could be a risk for them. There is a guy in Iowa that does some one off stuff , but he maybe a little slow sometimes... Frank

I can't recall his name at the moment but that will get you close. A very experienced person could tell the minor difference but not most people.
