Re: [Chrysler300] VIN Nameplate

["ryan hill" <ryan_hillc300@xxxx>]

Just thought I'd jump in and add my two cents worth (I'm Canadian...I guess 
it's only worth about 1.2 cents). I'm currently restoring a '65 300 and have 
made the decision to keep my tag in place because it's spot welded on as 
well, even though there are holes drilled like it was intended to be 
riveted? Looks really factory to me so I'm not fooling with it.

However, I just crawled into my 300 where my dash should be and found that 
there is fairly good access to the holes behind the door jamb. When I did my 
'67 Coronet R/T a few years ago I was able to gently flatten out the flare 
of the rivet from behind enough to remove the tag with the rivets 
intact.(There was no shank present inside the rivet) Once the car was 
painted, I pressed it back in place and placed a bead of epoxy around the 
formerly flared portion of the rivet to hold it in place. (You could hold it 
there many different ways) The final outcome was an original tag with 
original rivets placed on a fresh Plum Crazy paint job. It worked well for 
me but maybe a little masking might be the ticket for you?

Good Luck, Ryan.
