Did anyone ever stop to think what we are talking about here???? METAL! It isn't like the cars have finger prints. Panel replacement is legal. What is the difference if I weld in or bolt on OEM parts from 100 donor cars, including floors, rockers, roof and quarters (which really only leaves the firewall...which was stamped from the same machine as my parts car) OR...I replace the entire body and add my vin and rivets.

So many people have said it is illegal to own rosette rivets...BS. Illegal to own RIVETS...you are kidding! Removing your vin from your car legitmate and documented car body to put them on another (again, we are talking about METAL here, people) that you have verified is not stolen or has been a part of illegal transaction....Sorry folks....this is legit and ethical. (I am not saying you shouldn't tell potential buyers, I believe you should, but it is still legit)

METAL IS METAL IS METAL IS METAL IS METAL!!!!!!

As long as your rusty junker is not stolen and your rust free body is not stolen...LEGIT!!!! PERIOD!!!!!

Prove me wrong...give me the legal statute in ANY state that indicates it is illegal to own rosette rivets or swap any and all body parts of a car, including tags, and I will eat crow!!!!!
