I never took them off my HZ Sandman ute when I painted it in 1998. I was working under the bonnet the other weekend and just brushed off dust from the tags. The body tag FELL OFF!!!!!
The rivets where coroded away underneeth. There was NO rust in that area when I painted the ute. The rivets looked to be in great condition.

So I guess there you go. Why would you NOT take the tags off! I will be taking the rest off now and re riveting them on with new rivets! Thank god it diddnt happen while driving down the road!

Same thing happened last year to the yellow van, Rodney washed the most important tag off in the truck wash bay, thankfully his brother found it as it was at his then workplace. would have been worthless without the tag, rivet back on with rivets supplied by stickthis...
