VIN tag

[nodemon]

Anyone have experience riveting a VIN tag to the dash..? Any tips, tricks etc...or is it just straight forward. I'm just worried about messing up or scratching my freshly painted dash, tag and rivets.

Thanks.

You'd better check with your state and figure out how to make it look real. Tampering with VINs is a big time nono except in special circumstances.

You'll need the correct rivets to start with, 1968-74 Mopar: Factory Exact VIN Plate Rivets (NOS) then it's straight forward.

One could argue- "restoring" is not "tampering".

Caution what you share as the vin police on FABO will threaten to turn you in.

IMHO

If the vin matches the fender tag, build sheet, hidden body numbers etc. No issue for me.

If the vin does not match then you are re-bodying and that could be real bad for you if you ever sell it and it is discovered.

If they're the correct rosette pop rivets, it's a simple install. Just remember to face the VIN tag the correct way!

The same guys that won't tell you the rear window channel and trunk support as the other body stamped VIN locations?

Not to mention the upper driver's side core support and the driver's side trunk seal rail

Yekk... $35.00 for two rivets? Are they gold plated?

Ooooh, what a moron I am, I forgot, they're Chrysler NOS
