To look reputable the cowl tag is attached with special clockwise screws. Both were probably dismantled for restoration, or the car is...

Cal | Mike McCandless - 2023-09-14 8:28 AM I don't doubt that it's original to the car, I just hate fighting the DMV and having to get a state issued Vin If I was really interested in the car, I would attempt to restore the VIN plate and spot weld it back onto the panel. Practice with other stainless sheet first! Of course that requires cutting, welding & a re-paint of the door jamb - not something you would want to have to do to a fully restored car. | ||

Expert Posts: 1494 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: New Castle PA | That car is much nicer than any of mine, so I'm not trying to be critical. I'd think, though, that for a high-end restoration, the valve covers would have been put on properly. The one with the built-in coil bracket goes on the passenger side, not the driver's side. | ||
