Now if a guy like myself respectfully manufactures a car in the likeness of a vehicle that is almost 40 years old with modern manufacturing processes and techniques...then that would be a replica paying homage to the real unmolested and unmodified originals..dont you think???

I think what you're doing is way cool but you're not really building a replica. You're building something with a likeness to an original but you're not replicating an original. Your cars/chassis/ stand on their own design wise. These are replica's replicating original cars. Lola today is quite different than Lola under Eric. If the FIA insists on absolute replication to be fair to originals in races these will fit the bill but the T-70 ended many years ago and once something ends it is over.
People can and will call these cars whatever they wish but IMO they are replicas.
