Dave,

I understand what your saying. But here is the real deal the way I see
it. If someone is a crook, then they are going to do a clone and try
to rip someone off. If they are a good crook, and do a great clone
then they will have the gumption to find all the correct information
on how to rip someone off like a pro.

Now lets use one of our past list members and a good friend of mine
as an example.

Richard Leff. He had one of the most perfect 62 Max Wedge clones
you would ever see. It was perfect in every detail. He even won best
clone at the last Spring Fling. Richard had over 60K in the car, and he
NEVER once represented the car as anything but a clone. Not even in
a casual conversation with someone walking by. He was a honest man.

I don't think access to information will make an honest man a crook.
Will it make a bad crook a better crook? Maybe. But there are only
a hand full of fabricators capeable of duplicating a perfect clone, and
none of those I know would ever do it with the idea of mis-representing
a car. I saw a 990 clone at Vegas that was fantast last year, it even
had an H code tag. I ask the guy if it was a factory car. He instantly
stated it was not, he said that Moser had built it for him for over a
hundred grand. Another honest man.

So what do you do? I don't know. But I think the more correct
information
that is available the better. If everyone has the info and uses it to
protect themselves, the as a group I think we are better off. It will
deter more crooks than it will make I believe. I don't think there is
a perfect answer. Ain't life grand?

Earl

  Doug,

  You make excellent points.All valid.It's the "old boy" network at it's

finest.I merely threw out a random dollar figure as to what my friend 
John paid for the manual.It could've been free,or $1000.I don't know 
where or when he got it.But he's a longtime Mopar restorer.We know Steve

Atwell and Dick Landy have one,so who knows them well enough to bug the 
crap out of them? And, do you think they'd sell you a copy just to have 
it plastered on the 'net? Doubt it.

As far as fake maxie cars go,suppose you compile a manual that consists 
of all the TBs(I don't have any) for Max Wedge cars.All the little MW 
intricacies are now in one book,available for anyone to build a fake.If 
these were $10K cars,there'd be no problem.But, they're not.They're $60k

and up restored.That's the problem with Cudas,there's too much incentive

to rip somebody off these days for the big payday.IMO,there are many 
more "real" Maxie cars out there today than were ever built.
