And to really screw things up... Many first Gen Camaros have had their Dashes replaced because of rust at the base of the windshield. To do that you have to remove the vin plate from the old dash and attach it to the new one..Would that constitute a rebody ?

In a word...No. In this situation you are repairing a car, removing the VIN and then putting it back on the same car. At least on most GM vehicles the VIN plate is rivited to something metal. The scariest thing are the e-body Mopars (cudas and challengers) the VIN plate is rivited to the dashpad which is completely unboltable from the car. I have heard of horror stories of many a bone-head pulling out their dash to be reuphostered by Year One or other companies and leaving the VIN plate still attached, then getting the dash back minus the VIN plate. Year One used to warn people that under Georgia law, if they received the pad with the VIN plate attached, they had to turn the VIN tag over to the DMV. -OUCH!
