At what point does it stop being a restore & turn into a rebuild if ever? I noticed on a “restore” of a 50's mobile scout that they had removed all of the original interior due to disrepair. They then removed the original skin beause it had a few rips that could have been repaired & replaced it with an all new skin. The only thing that was still original was the axel if it was original to begin with. I noticed that this was a very common practice for some in the restoration business. It just made me think, I could go to Lowe's & replicate everything they did & if I did & I had the original frame then is it a rebuild & as long as I cut the body pattern out in the right style then could I say I have a 1950 something mobile scout? I mean it wouldn't be any different than what they were selling back to people as originals for tens of thousands of dollars. What does everyone think of this personally?

Thanks,

Sonja
