several years ago my brother had a resto shop in AZ, a guy comes in with a chevelle, believe is was a 66 or 67 and wanted it repainted and insisted on the vin tag being removed, he had nos rivets, well my brother said no way, but owner insisted and removed it he reinstalled it with the nos rivets, my brother said it looked 100% correct and original , for some reason the car had to be inspected and the inspector just glanced at the vin tag and said who took the vin tag off, the owner of car admitted he did, luckily for him my brother knew inspector well and told owner never ever touch vin tag and car passed, inspector said he can tell very easy if tag has been off
