Its crazy how involved the US goverment seem to get in this matter.....

Not that we are backward over here but our goverment couldn't care less what you do to a classic car. It makes it easier for me to do what i am doing.

Currently i do not have a Vin plate or any VIN stamped on my car because i have new doors and i also replaced in the inner fender panel......I will just stamp the vin myself and no one will know any different.

I think everyone failed to notice that Johnny M is from Ireland, where none of us really know their laws regarding Vehicle Identification Numbers and their alternations/transfers.  He may be perfectly within the Irish law.

No, I knew that. I wasn't commenting about his situation....just used a statement as a reference.

That's very true....If i walked into my local registration office and told them i am just after replacing 99% of the sheet metal on my classic car they'd take pity on the amount of work i had to do.

Then again there may be a law regarding it buried deep in our laws but the chances of the police knowing the law or enforcing it is next to none.

I also doubt they would care what a garage would do also...Unless it was some sort of large scale scam like swapping VINs on stolen vehicles but trying to determine the amount of sheet metal you are allowed to replace on a 40 year old car before you have to re- regeister it is just nuts......
