There isn't one AFAIK. There might be a tag on top of the front cross =
member (under the engine) but if its there, its just a series number or =
something like that. There is nothing to identify a particular frame.

Depends on the state, but most of them have a process for assigning a =
new vin number to a car assembled from parts. The local DMV may not know =
much about it, but its there. And usually pretty easy, if you know how.
