I had to change the frame on my 39 Sedan. I only found 1 set of # up front near the cross member near 3 rivets. Did Cut the numbers off frame or cover them.
I found a 35 frame that was replaced with after market. I didn't want to use the numbers on 35 didn't want 2 cars with same number.
I used a Height ft end and didn't loose the space were the 39 had been.
I knew the numbers were good so re stamped the frame and used the small V for the star. Funny thing body worth 20 to 30 k and could be replaced with a $500 frame.
Stamp it and get it done.
