When you restore a car, you are not VIN tampering. Your vin will state the year, make, model...etc. When your restored vehicle is done nothing has changed. And that, in case you are interested, comes directly from THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. As far as the feds are concerned, and, incidentaly, the DMV in California, a restored car is the same as the original. As long as original parts still exist on the vehicle, you are legal. You obviously can't build a brand new vehicle and slap an original VIN on it. But, if a turn key vehicle is built by a manufacturer, then they have the ability to make a VIN also. I don't understand what the big deal is here.
