LH rear wheel arch, take off wheel and use a mirror to look at the top of the chassis rail.

....I always look at these VIN#s on frames stacked at Carlisle. In plain daylight out there, it's tough enough to decipher VINs on nice, clean frames out in the open let alone on a car with the body on it.
...a scalely or pretty rusty frame would almost, if not be impossible to read.
