I cleaned paint and other crud to expose the serial number on the right front inner fender, but somebody removed it with a grinder. Is this standard procedure? All I can say is the the donor car was originally non-metallic green.

Looks like it was welded and ground down. I've seen a few cars where Body shops have done this when the put a complete clip on a car. Usually they will restamp the original vin though.

Sorry, but I have only ever seen that associated with stolen cars or car parts. I hope you can pull an image off the back side to see the VIN. That is frustrating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Could be as simple as it never got stamped, if nothing shows up on the bottom side.

As in, not stamped from the factory or not stamped as in a unstamped factory original replacement panel? Also, why would they have to take the grinder to the top if it was never stamped?
