Re:How much trouble do I get in for swapping vins? ..What Should I do?
Im pretty sure the one in the engine bay and the one on the dash absolutely must be there. You could easily take a cutoff wheel to both firewalls, go like 1 inch around the vin, weld it onto the parts car, grind the welds smooth, maybe some high heat build primer (fills imperfections and deep scratches, and a shot of your stock red paint, would look great
And for the dash, just swap em. You can drill out the 2 rivets holding the one in the door jam, keep it for a rainy day when your old and you wanna look back, I think its just the 2 rivets that hold it in
Highly doubt youll get caught or even questionned

i'd change as many vins as i can. something like this came come back and haunt you. then it's a case for the police and they're gonna say you stole the car. if you're gonna do it do it right.

Nothing to worry about unless the vehicle is going to leave the state. When it goes to another state then to get a title in that state, it has to be inspected by a certified VIN inspector... they look for all kinds of ----, and the VIN is in many more places than the ones you mentioned... (I am a VIN inspector). There are even secondary VIN locations that even I don't know about, that are only disclosed to level 2 vin inspectors, like most state cops.

if the car isn't stolen and the cops aren't looking for it, then it should be ok. but looking at howe the radio is missing and the plastic broken around the radio area i'd say that car was stolen.

I got my car shipped from CA and and titled it in WI and it just took them like 4 day to get my title from when I went to the DMV office and they told me since it's an outta state car it gets mailed to me but they never even looked at the car. Nate I say just do what I told you and don't worry about it. Hell you live in the sticks anyway. I wish I could of if my camera wouldn't of died out I could of got Nate some more pics and if my camera wasn't so shitty. But eh, some is better then none.
