1.3 Reproduction parts
In recent years the supply of certain GPW parts in NOS or good used condition has dropped to the point of near unobtainability. In addition, stocks of certain early production parts were exhausted during WWII and have never been available to restorers. Because of these facts and to encourage a high degree of craftsmanship and ingenuity among restorers* , no points are deducted for reproduction parts that are indistinguishable from the original.
* The purpose of the policy on reproduction parts is to encourage vendors and individuals to do a better job when reproducing parts. Reproduction parts have always been necessary for any type of vehicle restoration, and these parts should be built as accurately as possible.
