This is mostly for vintage guys who restore bikes. I'm wondering if anybody has ever had vin numbers welded over, ground down, and re-stamped somehow?
I THINK the VIN is stamped on the head tube before it's actually formed when it's a flat piece of metal. If the frame is steel, I'm thinking that the tube would have to be supported to keep it from collapsing to out of round if it has to withstand enough force to re stamp numbers?
I know this is a popular practice when restoring hot rods, but never heard of doing it with bikes? Anybody know anything about it? --L^64
