A replica is a replica. If it is done well and with good taste I doubt it will be an issue.

Ahhh ok, thanks ;-)

A friend of mine build a S & H Ford grand torino replica to promote the film in France. But I never saw this film. The original 70's S & H are very cool ;-)

I like to build cars that are very heavily influenced, but with my own twist on them. My Ghia was the same colour as Roger Gragos, but it was a later car (a '71, not an early '60s), my first bug was what I imagined Greg Aronson would have built if he'd had a '67 not a '63 ragtop, my race car took its colour scheme from Lee Leightons oval (red with gold pinstriping) but had a chopped top, flared rear wings, 13" front wheels etc.
I know I couldn't build an exact replica, there would always be something I wouldn't be happy with! Smiley
