But is it 'keeping history alive' when it's a new build hull that didn't even exist a year ago?

I have nothing against what you're doing and agree with you regarding most restored vehicles having some new material, that is almost inevitable. I had to section some new plate into my Sherman.

However, I do feel we should document what we are doing, as you are so that in a few years time and a few coats of paint later, we still know the truth about our vehicles.
