>>>Mine is a minority opinion on the subject--I believe that a car that has 
been fully restored, with extensive documentation, and carries a salvage 
title is worth no less than one that has gone through the same treatment and 
has an umblemished title.   However, most people (and the industry) don't see 
it that way, and cars with a salvage title are often viewed as having a 
substantially lower value--on the order of 50% less according to some.

I do think that it would scare away a good percentage of potential buyers.  
 Their loss, though.

>>>Just do it and don't worry about it.   If a cop asks you why you don't 
have a front plate, ask him where he would have you put it?   Explain that 
the car has no provisions for a front plate (never mind the fact that they 
came with a bracket bolted to the underside of the right front bumper 
originally), and you'll likely get a pass.
