cannot believe any law enforcement would give a darn about re-stamping that is done without intent to defraud. I would be willing to take my chances on this.

search the serial number to see if anyone has registered a car with the original number. if they have, chances are it is a rodder who likely does not have the block and certainly does not have the frame. in which case HE would be the perpetrator of fraud, not the Model A guy, since he is registering an assembled car and claiming it to be an antique.

are you trying to say that if my block is damaged to the point of being un-usable and I
replace it with a block that has the same serial number, I may be guilty of a crime? just because I replaced a broken part on MY car with a replacement part?
again, I'd be very willing to take my chances on this one.

j.m.h.o.....
