I think he might be implying that the rusted dash was actually a rusted cowl box which is where the most well known hidden vin is located.

Oh boy,

............ I look at these cars everyday and I know the difference between a dash panel and a cowl panel.
I am refering to the dash panel where the VIN tag is riveted NOT the cowl panel where the partial VIN's are located.
Doesn't matter anyway because if someone wants to restore his car, it's his car and he can go the route he wants.
