Just another piece of info for anyone reading this thread, I wanted to clarify a few things. The only bulletproof legal way to do this is to buy a matching frame with VIN, title, and glovebox door. If you have title and frame, the glovebox is pretty easy to get. If you have title and glovebox, it depends on your state. Some states don't care if the frame is switched because they don't ever look for a stamp. I've seen some people take a 6" section and weld it to a new frame and call it 'extensive frame repair'. I've called a lot of DMV's on this and I came to the conclusion that it is a roll of a dice I don't want to take. Lots of states out there won't care, unless you get a very thorough inspector. However, I have customers in CA and other states where everything MUST match and is inspected as such. With a 150k+ build, I'm not willing to roll the dice on someone randomly saying that it can't be registered with a different frame and shutting down the whole thing. Y'all might have different convictions or 'I know a guy's' that can make this work, but the best thing I've found is to get everything matching from the beginning. That being said, I've turned down a frame, glovebox, and title for 10k, and I've bought one for 5k, so do what you may with the price points, just wanted to add that to the mix. I'd love prices to come down, but at the end of the day, if my customer is willing to pay for it, that's up to them.
