Our good Pantera friend Randy Grubb who makes the tank
cars for Leno and others had a great story he told me
 
Since he was working with alum he had a guy contact him with a replica
Jag race car his dad had left him after passing ... it needed a hood... 
seems his dad was racing a real
Jag race car for years and finally decided to get a replica since
the value of the real car was getting out of this world....
After doing some research on the type of rivits etc it was found
out that the replica the dad had been racing for years was actually
a Factory Race car that was wrecked and rebodied... sold several times
etc and then his dad purchased the car... this car was worth 10x more
than his other real race car and the dad never knew
