[Too Many Projects]

Depends on what state and year the rebody was done. Some states did and may still do, allow that IF both vehicles are registered to the same person and the body is used to restore one of them, it is allowed. I had a '67 Camaro that was a combination mutt out of TX about 15 years ago and I talked to their DMV and they were fine with it. I had figured out the original vin of the vehicle and gave her both and she said they had both been registered to the same person and she didn't view the tag swap as malicious or to deceive, which it seriously did but she didn't see it that way. I then called the NICB and asked them about it and the guy said they don't agree with the Texas perception of the law, but once a body/tag has been swapped and the vehicle given a clean TX title, there isn't anything they can do about it.
