dashboard vin plate question

Its not that complex. If you feel it is, then your making it way harder in your head than it needs to be. Read the federal law regarding motor vehicle vins. It's pretty simple reading in black n white. Keep the vin# with the title, with the body. When done with the body, scrap it with the vin and the title at your local scrap yard. It takes less than a couple minutes to remove it from the dash frame.
