When I registered my truck here (previously in ID) they had to find the vin in at least two places. The dash being one, and because the sticker on the pillar was faded away, they checked the stamped vin on the firewall.

the suggestion is not a terrible one, six

biggest reason people don't do it more often is cause you only gotta get busted once to have a really realllllly bad time

and that's just the smog part.

if he does something silly on the road and gets a "hood pop" cop, with his setup, the car will 110% be leaving on a trailer

....there's a good reason many pay insane money for pathetically mediocre setups that have the coveted CARB sticker on them.

THIS CAR IS IN NO WAY CLOSE TO BEING A REAL RACECAR. drag? No. Trans and rear suck. Autocross?? That's not racing. That's hamster masturbation. Sorry. Track??? Lollllll. My hotside is def not meant for track. Abe did a nice job enough with my mani but that thing would crumble in under an hour on the track. Also borg s366.

I suggested swapping it back immediately anyway. I would just say the car had been badly wrecked and was full of junkyard parts if anyone asked. And remove the extra VIN stickers from the junker anyway.

Y'all act like you never registered a stolen car before, lol. J/k

Not sure what they do if Earl Scheib carelessly painted over it.

You need the 3/16" flange size on a 1/4" rivet and the flange needs to be painted black. When I did the dash swap I just drilled everything out to use 3/16" but it doesnt quite look right.

Since it never rains in southern California, swap the drivetrain into a FM Westfield kit or similar and register it as a '65 Lotus Seven kit car.

Actually, it is a good idea to have the car owned by someone else out of state and you are just "borrowing it".
