If the restored exhaust system was judged at a show.
How would the judge know that a NOS part was used
to replace the original part off the assembly line.
It's the same dang part that was there in the first place.
I understand it would not be the actual original part
but...still it's the same part # as original only nos .
Isn't that what most restorers do ?
That's where I will have to go.
If I replace the brake drums with nos same part #
drums as the originals......what's the difference ?
Debatable, I know.
If I replace ORIGINAL parts with the same part GM NOS
I feel I've done what I need to do to make an original
presentation.
Then it would become a contest of is it actually original
or nos original.
Maybe not the actual part that came with the truck
but...replaced with the same only nos is certainly good enough for me & most people.
So, my restoration will be a nos restoration
restored with original GM NOS parts.
That's about the best I can do.
