Consider this hypothetical then:
I have a read deal block, heads, carb, intake, exhaust manifolds, water pump, and fuel pump. But I have a repro (but correct) chrome air cleaner and a couple repro pieces of ignition shielding that replaced pieces that had gone missing.
Would we then have to start stamping something like "RP" on each of these parts to denote ReProduction rather than original? How about "correct" bolts with the right head markings - would we also have to stamp "RP" right next to the "TR" head marks to denote where the original/reused bolts are rather than what had been replaced with new? Stamp "RP" on new hose clamps? Stencil on "RP" in paint right next to the GM part numbers on "date correct" hoses? Stamp an "RP" on the steering wheel spoke if we have a repro wheel rather than an NOS part? Where would this end?
Now I think we are starting to get just a tad too caught up in all of this, IMO.............
Yep I think that is what they want. Also window glass & Paint. Can't see why anyone would buy dated windshields because down the road someone will think it is original & the same with the paint.

What A MAN WON'T SPEND TO GIVE HIS ASS A RIDE
I don't know if this 7 year old thread was re-animated because someone wanted current info on the quality of work at Classic Engine Company. if so, that was answered. Or, if the point was to argue whether the club should condone, promote or discourage replication engines. If so, that has been asked many times and answered as well. This thread has served its purpose and deserves to rest in peace.
