Scott: I note you are in Troy, so I think I know the fellow you referred to. My understanding he just liked to use his talents to make what he desired, not to defraud people. I ma told he created a number of modified cars, at a time those big engines and (now) expensive cars were inexpensive. One of the cars was later touted, by a subsequent buyer, as produced by a famous custom body builder and the builder’s body tag affixed to the car. When another local, who knew the creator of the car, tried to blow the whistle, he was threatened with a lawsuit by the owner, who may have been a dealer.
