Re: [Chrysler300] Controversy

Many cars have I.D.numbers stamped in hidden places.  Sometimes on the 
radiator support,  under weather strips   behind accessories ,  on 
brackets and also on hidden places on there frames.    Gary Barker

Are we then talking about cutting out those numbers as well and welding them into the "new" body? If you don't, then you will have a finished car that sports two different sets of identifying numbers.
