If one has the VIN, and a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin, the only thing needed is to pay car value sales tax. And the registration cost, to transfer the title from the manufacturer to the owner. On my kit 23 T Bucket it cost approx. $1400.00. And took about two hours at the MVD, with only a verification of the vehicle.

There are three methods available to title a hot rod in Arkansas. Which one to use depends upon the vehicle and personal preference.
 
 
1. Bonded Title
 
In this method the owner must first get a form signed by a licensed police officer verifying the VIN of the vehicle to be titled. The owner must then file with the state for a bonded title.
 
When the state returns a “Letter of approval” and assigns a value to the vehicle the owner must then post a bond with a corporate surety bond, certificate of deposit
 
with assignment, or an irrevocable letter of credit filed with the Commissioner
 
within thirty (30) days from its effective date, for an amount equal to one and one
 
half (1 ½) times the value of the vehicle as determined by the Commissioner.
 
The bond,certificate of deposit and assignment or letter of credit shall be delivered
 
to the Commissioner, and accompanied by:
 
(a) an application for registration and issuance of a
 
certificatee of title to the vehicle signed by the vehicle
 
owner;
 
(b) a letter from the Commissioner granting authorization
 
to apply for a bonded title;
 
(c) any additional documentation otherwise necessary to
 
comply with specific statutory requirements for
 
registration and issuance of a certificate of title to a
 
vehicle (the form from the police officerbeing part of this)
 
(d) the payment of all requisite fees and taxes for the
 
registration and issuance of a certificate of title to a
 
vehicle.
 
A bonded title will then be issued.
 
 
2. Petition to quiet title.
 
 
Citizens of certain counties can petition the county court to have a judge "quiet the title".
 
This also requires the the owner to first get a form signed by a licensed police officer verifying the VIN of the vehicle to be titled. Aterward a petition is filed for quiet title with the court. In Boone County this petition costs $150. It requires the bill of sale and the appropriate forms.
 
 
3. Manufactured vehicle
