humm, of all the stories he could have told you, that's the silliest sounding. You might want to run a carfax on it...nothing like pouring 200 hours of work into a project to find out your "free tub" was liberated from some poor guy via "five finger discount" if you know what I mean.

No no.. it is a MOCKUP tub for me. It will never see the street again for any reason. He wrecked the car several months ago.

FYI on Carfax: If I pay CASH to have the car repaired at the body shop... you will NEVER know that it was wrecked. They can only gather info from insurance companies and DMV related stuff.

humm, that makes it seem even more odd that he would go to such lengths to scratch the vin# off.

Yes, carfax won't catch most repairs...but if this "free tub" is stolen, it'll be in there.

again.. I know the owner personally.. I originally did ALL the suspension and alignments for him before he hit a stack of tires at Las Vegas. He gutted/stripped this tub to move everything over to another tub.
