Matching numbers...
Hi, If I were to put say a 59 shell on a 64 pan would VicRoads have a problem with this? If so are there any ways around the issue? BP

If you didn't tell them I'd doubt they'd even care.
THere's next to no difference between a 59 and 64 body aside from semaphores
Its more when you start putting early bodys on later floor pans that require body mounting point mods they begin to care

its a fair point with a 40year old vehicle you never know whats actually gone on in its life, just blame a previous owner....

As long as the numbers for the chassis (floorpan) and the engine are readable, and you have proof of ownership of both of them. A roadworthy
certificate if required. Your own ID, the money, and all the boxes on their computer are filled, then they dont care.
It is funny when they start looking for a compliance plate on a pre-compliance plate vehicle though. I just watch while they look, argue, ask me etc.
Then their supervisor who often is the more cluey one, just puts a tick on the form somewhere, and they go and do all the paperwork.
They couldn't find the engine number on the Subaru engine in our bus. I had an engineers certificate, so this was all to certify it at Roads dept.
They looked for ages, and were finding casting numbers, part numbers. The number was on my receipt from the Subaru wrecker, and on the engineers
report, but they would not stop till they seen it with their own eyes. I eventually lifted the top engine hatch to help them as I got sick of watching
four of them arguing and stressing, and I just wanted to get home.
A mate of mine had a car with an engine number that read HQ######. The Q was a bit light, and the roadworthy guy put HO###### on the roadworthy form.
They knocked it back, and said he had to get another roadworthy certificate with the correct engine number.
