For the dash , why not just take your original vin and rivet/replace it in tithe new dash ?
Because that is a felony, anyway I threw away my old dash

Nope, they wouldn't accept my ginormous bill from Jacks as proof of purchase.

Thats a good point, but retitling a salvaged car subjects the owner to all these small nuanced laws that clean titled cars don't have to worry about.
Bought a dash pad from a user on the forums because mine had a blown passenger airbag. Since the VIN on the new dashpad doesn't match my vehicle's VIN, the DMV wouldn't pass the car. No sweat, all I need is a bill of sale for the dash pad with the VIN on it. Sadly, the member who sold me the dash pad doesn't want to sign a bill of sale because of fear for identity fraud. Basically I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Best bet is to bite the bullet and get another dashpad... but with the new person signing the bill of sale. Of course you can ask them this prior. Then perhaps sell the airbag module if it is separable to the pad.

If you advise Jack's about the issue, could them either forwarding you a signed company letter or faxed to DMV statement regarding your transmission with cross ref to your bill # be an available option?
Do you know (well at least for your state) if you upgraded the front and rear subframes to a aftermarket tubular subframe, will they fail the inspection for that or they dont inspect those parts?

The DMV officer decided my car would best be handled as a 'custom built car' which has to meet fewer criteria for titling. The paperwork has been submitted and at this point I'm just waiting for the assignment of a unique VIN. The DMV is required to use snail mail for this process, so it takes a couple weeks.
Subframes are not an inspectable item, at least in NC. The NCDOT is primarily concerned with high value items bearing a VIN: engine, transmission, frame, and for some reason the dash. Fenders, hoods, glass etc. are not inspectable. I don't believe the front or rear subframe has a VIN on it, so it would be impossible to identify. The officer's primary concern is ensuring that the donor vehicles were not stolen.
