The VIN is no longer a problem as the state police will come over, check the numbers on the chassis, engine, and transmission, and my reciepts. The chassis # and certificate from CMC are not needed but the bill of laden and reciept do. VIN Inspection = Cost $1.00
Getting a title and tags from the Tax Collector is another story all together. I visited each local office and got a couple different stories. Basically a home built (no donor title!) must have a safety glass cert. windshield, windshield wipers, brake and headlights, an emergency brake, and seatbelts, and somehow prove that the emissions controls are all in place based on the whichever major component (engine or chassis) is newest. For my 06 R1 motor this would mean the GIANT air box I'd never be able to see over and a titanium cat I'll never be able to weld in place and having to tow the car to be safety inspection by some clerk type who knows nothing about cars. Real inspectors?? Dazed look in clerks eyes.
One older lady suggested I contact a title company here in WY and get a title that way. She says she's seen several cobra kit cars and custom choppers done that way without any issues at all. I could even get by with my windscreen and no wipers!
When asked abotu safety, the state trooper says they only care about the VIN check and stolen parts, and that the safety stuff is all left to the vehicle registration people.
Anyone use a title company? Can I get it titled as a 1964? There are quite a few out there, any recomendations?
Thanks
