Re: Alpine Conversion

["Kathy and Erich Coiner" <kathy.coiner@gte.net>]

When I attended TacFest 2001,  Tom Hall made it very clear that replacing a
front or rear clip on a Tiger did not make it cease to be a Tiger.
You can have a philosophical argument about how much of a Tiger can be
replaced with Alpine and still be a Tiger.  You will have as many opinions
as you do contributors to the argument.  My feeling is if the center body is
still there it is still a Tiger.   From the firewall back to the trunk
hinges.
There are enough indicators in that portion of body that can uniquely ID a
Tiger from an Alpine.
