I think this is probably the key to any such work--there's probably a
fine line between creating a replica and producing a forgery. Probably
on which side of that line the car belongs is likely in large part
dependent upon the amount and type of bragging done. If one determines
that if a sanctioning body can't tell the difference, then neither can
the rubes, and tries to sell the car as an original, that's fraud. And,
certainly, if a sanctioning body only accepts originals, then one knows
the rules up front, and accepts the chance that the car may be refused
participation.
Cheers, all.
