hmmm...good point Pat. So what your really saying is that technically matching numbers won't matter if i've changed everything else...then i've taken the "originality"...hmmm...if that's the case then...it's already not original. The car has little value now, but T/A enthusiasts predict that 10 years from now it will, I don't know why i'm asking anyway because i'm not going to sell the dang thing. I didn't buy it for the investment...duh, maybe i'm answering my own question.

Anybody got a different take on the "matching numbers" thing?
