May be a bit late for that. The chassis is more or less done.
As long as you have bill of sale for the steel etc your OK.Guess I need to make some phone calls to determine what the safe route is.
Look up your GA's statutes for titling a car. Hopefully Ga. is using the SEMA model for "Custom cars, Hot rods" etc.
If you call the DMV you are going to get the local DMV version of what the rules are. If you study the statutes first and then present your arguments it's hard for them to say the statutes are wrong.
In Fla the favorite classification now for Locost's is ASPT (Assembled from parts). But you need proof of where all the major parts came from.
Although in Fla they are interpreting the word "manufactured" (which was added to the rules a few years ago) to mean a licensed company making Locost's as a business. It seems that an individual can't build a Custom Car or maybe a Hot Rod either if the local office still interprets the rules that way. Hence they assign a ASPT title to a Locost. Your statutes may vary.
Also in Fla if you go strictly by the rules you would have to sell or donate your donor to a junk yard so they could [in affect] have title changed to "salvage" so they could sell the parts BACK to you to make your Locost. This would be an argument to put the donor car's title in your name (not junked) and then "rebody" the car.
Jack: I'm giggling just reading your post and my car is already titled.
