Actually, making a rebody here (in France) is legal, provided the new body is actually a new part. Rebodying with a previously registered body is illegal.
For those who were born 20 years too late, this is the chance to have a brand new Challenger... and the best possible way to make a road-racing chassis, adding the torques boxes, frame connectors, roll-cage, extra welding everywhere. (Apart from building a tube chassis underneath a fibleglass body, but I prefer all-metal).
For those who have a car to restore, the price is probably on par with (or lower than) US Car Tool's "body in white" program.
And starting from new metal which is probably electroplated against corrosion.
