What I meant was
It is a real P.I.T.A. to paint a car with the tags in place.
When some paint shop monkey drills them out oh well,
What what is that song by Rod Stewart every picture tells a story, also the name of an album. Every car tells a story too. While its fun to look at just the pictures , behind the scenes story is always more interesting.
It would be interesting to know , what year the previous owners played Lego with the car.
I suggested making a new JAL tag , only as stage dressing .
A fact to be disclosed as if it was a piece of California real estate in a three-page transfer disclosure statement , just like where and how bad its rust issues were . Most heavily traded muscle cars,can be cloned way too easily .
Last year a fellow Sunbeamer brought a Alpine into California and the DMV put their own non removable VIN tag with the same body number as the VIN number.
Now speaking of stupid monkeys , where did I read that the paint shop had removed all the tags , including the TAC . That owner also mislaid or lost his certificate, he had asked if he had to go through the whole thing again . I think he was in the Mid West.
Below a trans tag sold today link.
I hope the Alger that sold lately with the donor vin tag doesn't get a make over.
