Actually - the full VIN is established well before the build starts. That's why it can appear on all the build documentation (build sheet, inspection tickets and such) and be broadcast throughout the whole plant.

They just chose to stamp the partial VIN on the frame, rather than the full VIN, for whatever reason.
