this is a 1960 model and plate was removed for restoration and replaced with pop rivets .This was flagged by my dmv inspecter whom insisted that the plate should have been welded .When i tried to explain that the body was fiberglass he didn't care and said i must remove body from chassis to locate frame numbers. This is a 150.000 resto mod .i feel stuck has anyone had this problem or is it only in NC ?

It appears that 1955 to Early 1960 used Phillips screws. Late 1960-62 were spot welded to steering column jacket. You did not say what year. If its a 53 or 54 let us know and we can do some more digging!
