Brat VIN Location

[DPDISXR4Ti]

Anyone know where the VIN is imprinted into the body on a Brat? I'm not talking about the tag on the dashboard - that's easy. I'm talking about the ID number that is usually imprinted into the floor pan somewhere.

 

On a related note, any idea what the law indicates when combining two vehicles into one? I have valid titles for both, and I could make sure the VINs on the car match. I suppose from a practical matter, nobody's going to care about a 20 year-old car.

VIN is stamped into firewall, just to the left of the spare tire area, as yo're looking at it from in front of BRAT.

 

As for re-titling one good from two bad, depends on State your in, as it varies quite abit.

a simple way is save the other 2 tags on the brat that is being scrapped and then transfer the tags on the door jam and the dash to their appropriate spots using aluminum pop rivets that look like the originals

 

heck when I got my 76 registered here from washington they only looked at the door and dash vin #'s

Thanks for the feedback. I'm aware of the practical approach that works, but was also curious what the law actually indicates. I'm remembering now a televised documentary piece which indicated how some states were very lax about "rebuildables", and the deaths that resulted from shodily repaired cars.

 

Related footnote... I recently discovered that starting about 1998, the VIN stickers on the door jam will read "VOID" once removed. At least for Ford's they do - not sure how widespread the change was.
