[DML] Re: Black Vin plates

["James Espey" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Does the dash VIN plate have holes for pop-rivets, and it's just glued
on? If so, that's a sign that the dash was changed at some point, and
they forgot to install the VIN plate before putting it in the car, and
it was just glued on. If this is the case, you will probably NOT find
holes in the dash itself.

If the VIN plate has no holes, then the next thing to do would be
remove it and see if there are holes in the dash. The only dash VIN
plates I have seen without holes are the 15XXX and 16XXX series. I
can't recall how the 17XXX cars are, though I have one in the shop now
I will look at Monday.
