So, here's what really worries me about the driver side hinge pillar...the VIN plate. The first pic shows the inside of the pillar. If you look at the 5:00 and 11:00 positions, you can see the backside of each VIN plate rivet. There really isn't much left of them. So, before I get into that area, I'm going to contact the VA DMV Law Enforcement office for help. After some research, I think that they are the ones who can help me deal with this. The VIN plate itself is fine. The title for the truck is fine (matches the VIN and is in my name). All I need is for the correct office to reattach it for me so that I don't break any laws! Kind of a hassle, but it is what it is.
This morning, I got the park brake bracket mounted to the new floor. I know that the inner-to-outer cowl will also have to fit over the park brake pivot rod, but for now, it's properly fit, with the through the under floor brace bolted and the through the floor carriage bolts installed. I really hated drilling 2 holes in my nice new floor, but that's how it mounts! I may add some sealant under the floor when I'm ready to finalize everything. That's all for now. I'll keep you all posted on the VIN issue. For now, nothing will be done in that area until I get the VIN issue resolved.
