Could this be a sandman - Chassis swap

[Gaddy]

We have a section for Replica Sandman's as well. It can always go in there if the chassis isn't right. What I'm saying is , build it for yourself to enjoy. It all gets a bit serious otherwise. Given this kids skills with welding (and if he does a painting course he'll no doubt be good at that too) he should be able to restore this thing for a very reasonable price, and to him it can still be a Sandman. Don't worry about what some nupty anal retentive collector will give you for it when it's done.
I've got a HQ coupe sitting in the old house at the farm. It doesn't have it's original chassis. Not sure why but apparently the chassis under it is from a HQ Statesman. Legally that may make the car a HQ Statesman (not sure how far the RTA would go with that and whether they have that chassis no listed as a HQ stato) but it's still a Monaro to me and that's how I'll enjoy it.

Gotta agree play! My van has a VIC police number on the engine but it's still My Sandman and I enjoy it for that!
And yes twotees I have been watching this thread for a while and am starting to get a little worried about the path it has taken in taking the gloss off Myles s find and his enthusiasm for what he clearly is passionate about!
Maybe blocker can shift the nitty gritty stuff to the appropriate thread that is When is a sandman not a sandman! (poss called something similar) and let Myles have this thread back!
Just sayin!

i dont see any path that has been taken that isnt good..its fantastic that myles is passionate about his "sandman"..
if im the bad man for saving this young fella some money on what would never be a genuine collectible vehicle because of mismatching numbers then so be it..
