I've seen some pics of it being on the top of the frame so how is anyone supposed to see it there? Is there anywhere else I can look? Someone suggested in another thread that the body has to be removed from the frame so please don't suggest that because I'll sell it before I do that. Where EXACTLY is the number on the frame? Thanks in advance....

Hey Lebowski,
Ha, ha..'I'll sell it'...that's rich
! Now can you post a pic and price
!
Yeah, do a 'search' and this has been discussed (with pictures) endlessly.
The stamped number is approximately (give/take inch)..under the rear hood hold down clamp. I can email you pic, if that will help. Even tho my roadster body is on now, I stamped the exact number from top of frame ...to just below that location ON SIDE OF FRAME.
BTW..start unbolting. Hm, mabe one other way to get 'away' with the engine number....tell dmv that you have MATCHING numbers car and splain that . Hey, they might go for it...as guys buy cars with 'matching numbers'..I'm sure..without removing the body
.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention...that I pulled the body to get the frame number, after the ca chp...said that that was what they would accept. Good luck
