That is the answer right there.

The legal VIN is the tag on the dash, not the stamp in a cowl. So here, at least, what you do with the cowl is irrelevant for identification purposes.

What some can't seem to grasp is that taking that legal VIN tag off the dash from a rusty, wore out, tore up, no longer salvageable "collectible" vehicle and putting it on a "donor" is what's illegal. Not fixing a rusty cowl.



Steve - some states do a VIN check and verify body stampings when registering an out of state vehicle. I wonder what their procedure is on this? The safe thing for him to do is check w/ his authorities and thoroughly document whatever he does in case of a future sale. This topic has had quite the flogging on this site previously, not that I remember there being a definitive correct answer.
