======Example:====== '27 T roadster body only. Plans call for a homemade frame, turbo 2.3L, T5, etc. Remember, T's had the original VIN on the engine block and it's long gone. The only things I walked into DMV with were a 'bill of sale' from the previous owner, the craigslist ad where I found it, a picture of the car in my backyard, and these forms: *Form 343..........Application for Title or Registration *Form 124..........Application for Assigned VIN plate *Form 5036........Statement of Construction *Form 256..........Statement of Facts Make sure whoever helps you is knowledgeable in the Specially Constructed Vehicle registration process. First thing the clerk did was enter my T into the system. That's where forms 343 and 124 came in. Next, he called Sacramento to get the SB100 number. That is the holy grail! A number within the 500 allotted numbers. The local offices have one designated phone number to call to access the SB100 database. I paid $96 in fees and now have the choice of having my car smogged as a '27 or '88... guess which one I'm choosing! I've been assigned a temporary VIN that's good for 3 years, or whenever I have the car safety certified by the CHP, whichever comes first. If I don't have it finished by the 3 year mark, I simply take the paperwork back to DMV and have it renewed. Once it's running I need to have a CHP officer inspect it and sign off. Basically it needs to have lights, horn, seat belts, working brakes, turn signals and a few other things. Next, I go to the BAR referee where I'll choose to have it smogged based on the year of body, 1927. 1927 is outside the jurisdiction of current smog laws! Oh well!
