Now we would have a chassis with no numbers, does it need numbers?
As far as I can read from this thread, a person can stamp what ever they want on a chassis because it is not a VIN number its more manufactures ID number and it would only become fraud if it was sold as something that it was not.
Correct?

I believe you're correct. The only bogey I see is matching up a stamped VIN to a MCO or MSO, but you don't have one, so that goes away.

I know when I had my car inspected and registered in Saskatchewan they spent some time looking for a 2nd VIN on the frame to match the one on the decal provided by the State of Michigan (Michigan issued the original VIN). Ultimately they accepted there was no VIN on the frame but that wouldn't stop me from stamping one there - especially if the two matched.

You may wish to consult whoever is going to inspect / approve your car to query them about the best approach.

I suspect I will face a similar issue when I try to change my Texas registration over to Kansas, where I live now. I thought about stamping a matching number (the VIN is on the dash in the usual place, just not a second one on the frame) onto my frame and the only thing stopping me is that I worry that the newly stamped appearance would cause some suspicion…and alerting the very authorities who do the inspections as to the problem might well keep me from being able to EVER get it registered here in Kansas.

I could just phone in a general question…but they always ask for names and this county probably only has about 1200 people so it won't be much of a mystery who it was who called.

I do possess a valid TX title with the VIN on it…just do not have that second number the inspector wants to see.

Cheers!
