If Barry was still around he would be all over this subject.
Technically, it is illegal to remake any vin plate on any car in the US.
Every state has different regulations for this type of situation.
Mostly, you will have to get a new vin issued by the feds.
You have to prove the car is yours.
Then they will check to see if anything fishy is going on with the vin number.
The new vin they will give you will be a long strip that goes on your door jamb.
Not worth it if the car has no fender tag, build sheet, and numbers.
