That's just a little bit illegal. Swapping VIN tags can get you serious jail time.

Maybe if you were dealing in stolen cars, which the laws were intended for, not for some enthusiast restoring or creating a vehicle from a number of donors/parts that are legally owned

That might be the best point you've had in the VIN saga, especially considering most of us are good people keeping cars til we die. I think it matters that at some point the car will be sold and passed off as real for big bucks, and that doesn't sit well with many of us. We're talking about 20 or 80 or 250 thousand dollars, not a $30 toaster.

In the OP's case, a 70 Charger is worth saving the extra $ for AMD and doing it right, rather than a hack job. So even if his welding handiwork is perfect, what, is he going to try and use house paint he can save $1100 on?
