196_ fj45lv VIN info needed

I am in the process of trying to aquire a title for a partially stripped 45lv...

VIN plates are going to be made soon by one of the mudders here.

Kief
if you are going to rebody ? you might want to get the title now
if you are planning on a resto rebuild ?
you might get in line for some of these body parts

Going to be cutting up this body soon. Let me know if your LV's need any of this rust free one.

Nope, strever, no LV resto for me. Unless I found a nice straight 99.9% clean one, my life it too short for any projects of that magnitude. Sorry I missed ya Saturday but tell Bob thanks for the tour.
I definitely am seeking the title ASAP. Sent ya a PM.
