Thanks Paul,
Since I had no access to the original Chevette VIN, NJ said they would have to “re-VIN” the vehicle. When I contacted them how the process was going I was told that since the kit manufacturer had a VIN number on the Certificate of Origin document, we would now need to locate this kit mfg.

Joseph E. Monesmith replied to the topic Louvers anyone? in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 10 years, 11 months ago
(louvers) During the fabrication of Beatrix I found a heat build-up under the hood before painting the car last summer. I insulated the hood and covered the underside with sheet stainless steel.
