Yeah.. I was not real happy about that, but the owner of the tub delivered it to me and explained "why" he did it. It is a mockup tub that is WRECKED big time in the front.. so it is not like it is going anywhere any time soon.

It won't be running by then!! I have multiple JRZ shock installs and an engine swap to complete before the 20th. Then I have a CaymanS project coming in.. This is a non-paying side project so it will be a slow one.

Glad to see you mocking this up. When I first read the post I thought it was just bench racing.  It will be interesting to see how this works out.

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.
