Dog ate my homework, best friend took my VIN tag and the engine came from the factory restamped with the VIN.

I also have the missing number 8 ram air bird in my garage. The distressed 38 year old lacquer is nearly dry.

All seriousness asside, I think trim and vin tags are only part of the process. They are not much problem for a capable craftsman to fabricate with the right tools and experience. The other seven senses will come into play and smelling a rat may be one of those senses.
