Federal motor vehicle law allows for this in their statutes providing the vins go back on the vehicle they were removed from because of repair to the vehicle required their removal to do the work. In my case replacing a dash frame. Moving vins to a different vehicle for fraudulent reasons such as theft or an attempt to misrepresent the vehicle is concidered a federal crime. I have read the statutes forward and backwards about vin removal, and when its ok, and not ok. Even had people argue with me over it right on this website LOL
