This is so much B.S. by the reporters, investigators, and way too many unknowlegable commentors. He has NOT been charged with the theft of his vehicle. Any Insurer insuring Customs, hot rods,etc. KNOW they are always assembled from components. These are not Pebble Beach type cars and they know it...or should know it. The investigators obviously don't. Many repoped parts cost much more than original parts. 70 K in a top notch hot rod is nothing unusual He was fighting the system with the paperwork, not eluding to something that wasn't.
