In the middle of my restoration project I spotted a tag with a VIN # on my Dash..
I'm wondering if it might be an original Meyers Manx Dash..

Its very similar in shape to the Meyers Manx dash but they were made of ABS plastic
Since yours is fiberglass it will be much easier to fill any unwanted holes, ABS is hard to repair |

What's a VIN number? Why would somebody assign an identification number to a number?
