Reproduction vintage shells

[DanB4]

Hi Guys,

As most of us have, I've made many purchases from Marwan, TBG and a few from Kamtec and PenguinRC.

What I'm wondering is, does having an original OEM bodyshell really matter?

I have a brand new original Procat shell and undertray mould, not cut out at all....is it for instance more desirable than, say, a TBG Procat Shell? Should I keep it and just fit a repro to my Procat once restored?

Out of my 12 or so vintage shelf queen buggies, only the Super Astute, YZ10 and Lazer ZX have original shells on them.

Cheers,

Dan
