Let me get this right.  You want stock, but "load up a car"? So the car, 
although having stock components is not truly as delivered, therefore not 
accurately represented.   I thought a premise of the Stock Group was to 
either maintain or restore a car to "as delivered", and that "Stock" means 
the way the factory made the car.  Is there a discrepancy here?  Or are you 
bending the rules to fit what YOU say stock is? IF adding other options that 
didn't come with the car is ok, what is the difference between adding other 
Chev or GM components that were stock in their day... and perhaps a dealer 
would install something that wasn't a factory approved installation. Such an 
act normally has to be documented to allow accurate acceptance by a 
sanctioning body such as CORSA.  An example is the Dana "Stinger"; a stock 
Corvair modified by using parts purchased from Yenko Sportscars.  However, 
Chevrolet never made a Yenko Stinger. Since the car is documented, it is 
rare and accepted. A Corvair without the pedigree modified to be like a 
Stinger is a "clone" .  That reasoning would make your loaded car a "clone". 
Where do you draw the line?
