NOS vs fixing original

[CG]

First off Im not bagging on the asking prices for NOS stuff, even though the prices are going sky high. Its just what happens when something gets popular.

I get that people would love to have the NOS vs repairing, but when does the price for NOS become too much? Is there such thing as "too much"? I'm looking at doors and tailgates and am starting to think a good body guy could probably make some money repairing and reselling parts. When NOS on these things is topping a grand now could a guy repair and resell for a decent profit?

I'm not a body guy, but if I wanted OEM panels and some body guy has a repaired part in bare metal and I can save hundreds I would defiantly buy from him vs NOS.
