• the value of the car is in the chassis/engine numbers. a ferrari 250 GTO will cost the same (for the purposes of the discussion) as an e-type to rebody if you bend it. an alloy panel is an alloy panel. unless you bust something you can't replace (rare), or fuck it beyond rebuilding (even rarer), obviously.

    For discussion, they won't. There were never stamping tools for a 250 GTO, they were over a wood dolly. E types were never competive racers till recently and there are lots by comparison. The GTO every car is unique, no two are alike hence poor shutlines and differing size doors wings. Having had ally panels copied made, in india and eastern europe cost of materials is similar but the labour costs were different but the work was of equal quality standard and were not as good as the factory built ones.

    There is also nothing that cannot be made, the finacial implications are the major factor. Look at the fact babs was rebuilt, with lots of the original panels, even though IMO it is a grave and should have been left buried on pendine sands
