Find a fuel cell tank that matches the one that should be on the car. Can I really say that it is the real car anymore? If I sell the car,but keep the old frame, did I really sell the car? With an old race car. What can you replace before it is not really the original car?

The general rule is 51% of the chassis. There are cars out there that are not what they claim to be and others that are huge question marks.
