Not to beg the question, but...
If you are assembling a car using parts from other cars of various mileages, what is the "true" mileage of the assembled product? Can you not just record the mileage (if known) for parts like the engine, frame, and whatever is important and call it "newly" assembled and restored with odometer reading ... Resetting the odometer to "zero" is not the true mileage for the engine, even if it is overhauled.
In the reverse situation, I had a car that had its odometer replaced with one that read zero at something like 15,000 miles. Everything was documented, and there was never a problem in licensing the car in Minnesota.
