1972 Cheyenne Restoration

If you have to have the vehicle inspected by the DMV, you may run into a problem with the VIN plate being attached without the rosette style rivets.

Nice build, very quick progress!

I will not have ANY problems with a vehicle inspection. By the DMV or the State Police. This truck did not have rosette style rivits on the VIN plate. It had plain old rivits. 1/8 short shank steel/steel. Just like the parts truck we had and like the others this year that we have checked out. I still have the old rivit heads to prove it.

I work at a Dealership bodyshop, and back in the 80's I used to replace the dashes in the Cutlass Supreme's that had radios stolen and the dash all busted up. We had to order the rosette style rivits for those cars because you couldn't get them anywhere but the manufacturer. So I know what you were thinking.

Ok, Jon's been working for the cash to continue his build. Blueprinting the engine, installing some chrome parts, polishing the stainless mouldings....lots of good stuff.
