It's very difficult now to get a kit bike titled, even if it comes with an MSO.

"Ship of Theseus" frauds are a growing concern in resto and mod work.
Backstory: Basically what the Ship of Theseus was was a ship that had all of its planks replaced one by one, so the paradox was if the ship was completely rebuilt is it even the same ship as the original.
How it applies to us: Kind of as it implies- at what point is a car not the original car anymore? Is the definition of the car the body or the VIN tag? If I were to rebody my car with everything except for the cowl, is it the old car with replacement parts or a new car with an asterisk attached?
Coddington got dinged for this, as did W2W and Unique I think...
