I was able to get a better picture of the cowl vin. I hope the vin# pic is clearer. I was not able to get the firewall vin pic better yet. I removed a lot of tar from the blower motor area some months back looking for the vin number and was excited when it matched. I used a paint remover for the cowl area and it worked very well at removing the paint to get to the partial vin. I used the same stuff on the firewall vin but I did not get the same results.
