I figgered the cops had better things to do than hassle me about removing the VIN plate to weld/paint/patch on my 35 year old truck, here there is no state inspection at all. You can drive anything that will move(even if its just sometimes)! Brian

Guys I'm not getting on you, but just letting you know that alot of us are informed.
It is a federal law and most states have similar laws about altering, obliterating, and removing serial numbers. There are certain legal ways to have a vehicle with the incorrect vin reissued a vin/ serial number. Talking about dumb cops, you know how many times I have seen vin plates installed with double sided tape, glue, the wrong rivets for that make of vehicle, etc. Talk about dumb. You should see some of the things I have.... I know why you guys want the rivets in most cases to reinstall the real vin plate after painting etc, but please check your local laws and procedures first. I love the sport and do not want you guys who are legit to get in trouble for something petty..

law

When was the law written that states you can't remove a VIN to paint the vehicle ? Maybe our trucks are "grandfathered" out of that law.
