| − | The question: "How can I properly title my hot rod" is frequently asked on hot rod and custom car bulletin boards. This page was created in response to a specific request to formally cover this issue, in [http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/title-how-knowledge-base-91052.html a discussion on the Hotrodders Bulletin Board].

| − | ==Summary==

| − | The steps necessary to obtain a valid title for a hot rod vary greatly from country to country, and between states, provinces, and other sub-national entities. Current local legislation, model year of vehicle, vehicle construction, and many other factors also come into play.

| |
| − | As the written letter of the law varies from one region to another, so does the way it is handled on a day-to-day basis. Thus, an understanding of the local legal code must be coupled with knowledge of the experiences of local hotrodders.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To fully answer this question, we'll need to include the relevant legal code from each state, province, region, or country, as well as information from local hotrodders on the vagaries of enforcement at the local level.
