Larry Depending on your state there are laws about removing the VIN tags, I removed mine during the restoration and I am currently looking for the correct rivets. I contacted trimtags.com but haven't gotten a reply yet. They make replacement cowl tags but not Vin tags. You need that tag if you ever want to sell the vehicle so if you think your painter removed it ask him for it, I don't know how you will get a replacement and it may be illegal for him to even possess it depending on your state laws. The numbers on the frame on a 65 are on the top of the left frame rail between the last 2 rear body mounts.

I suspect the painter saw the value of the tag and removed it. I should mention that I don't remember seeing the tag prior to painting. I have never been able to find any numbers on the frame. Should I post the vin?

Im looking at a 69 ss chevelle tomorrow. He says its all original and he says its an ss. I will be looking at it closely tomorrow. He doesnt have a build sheet or a protecta plate. This car is a project car. Everything looks to be there. I looked at it quickly today on my way to work. Then called him on the phone. I pretty much know what to look for but is there any one thing that can help me decide. It is a big block with a muncie 4 speed, it has a 12 bolt, but i didnt check the brakes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Alex
