====Homemade vehicle==== Constructed without using manufactured main components (e.g. body/chassis/frame made from scratch), and therefore has no VIN. NOTE: This designation is primarily for homemade trailers, constructed by the owner. Homemade vehicles are registered in Ontario as: *VIN: assigned "HOM" *Make: HOME *Model: HOM *Model year: Year the homemade vehicle was built and registered with the ministry. Kit cars are not homemade vehicles, for registration purposes. Kit car owners should be aware of a problem with the misuse of the "homemade" classification in registering their motor vehicles. There have been a number of kit cars which have been incorrectly registered in the past as "homemade," and it appears that this is usually because of the owner misusing the term "homebuilt vehicle" on the notarized affidavit filed with MTO. Please note that there is no such term on vehicle permits as "homebuilt," and the term "homebuilt" should not be used on notarized affidavits filed with MTO, as it does not properly describe the vehicle, or the origin of the major component parts. Furthermore, if your kit car is incorrectly registered as model "HOM" instead of model "KIT", you will not be eligible for any exemption from the Drive Clean inspection requirement. The only motor vehicles which should be registered as "homemade" by MTO, are motor vehicles where both the body and the chassis/frame have been completely constructed by the owner from scratch, without the benefit of a kit or a guide for assembly of the parts, or the purchase of a specialty frame or kit body, or a guide to construct the kit body and/or frame.
