After getting the OK from the state Police who issued the certificate for a VIN number, I went to the DMV,, expecting a normal transaction ,,they handed me 5 pages of forms to fill out ,, wanting to know how I came to own the car, all the receipts, pictures,I Did that ,, then back to the DMV,, got a different person,, 3 more pages of forms,, did that... then They wanted copies of EVERY receipt I had,, probably 500 pages, finally after some talking , I convinced the guy that the state Police had already seen all these receipts and that if its good enough for them it should be good enough for the DMV,, so he settled for copies of the major components,, engine Tranny rear end, etc etc, then he issued a VIN sticker,, and you have to have the car there so THEY can apply the sticker,, then they issue you a 90 day trip permit,, so a special committee can review everything,, but I don't expect a problem from them,, Now that it has started to rain,, at least it can be driven,, The whole Idea is to document the car as much as possible,, like PICTURES of the build process,, keep EVERY Receipt you get, and lots of patience and luck,, REMEMBER they are there to make sure this vehicle isn't STOLEN,, and will do everything to find out if it is,, | After getting the OK from the state Police who issued the certificate for a VIN number, I went to the DMV,, expecting a normal transaction ,,they handed me 5 pages of forms to fill out ,, wanting to know how I came to own the car, all the receipts, pictures,I Did that ,, then back to the DMV,, got a different person,, 3 more pages of forms,, did that... then They wanted copies of EVERY receipt I had,, probably 500 pages, finally after some talking , I convinced the guy that the state Police had already seen all these receipts and that if its good enough for them it should be good enough for the DMV,, so he settled for copies of the major components,, engine Tranny rear end, etc etc, then he issued a VIN sticker,, and you have to have the car there so THEY can apply the sticker,, then they issue you a 90 day trip permit,, so a special committee can review everything,, but I don't expect a problem from them,, Now that it has started to rain,, at least it can be driven,, The whole Idea is to document the car as much as possible,, like PICTURES of the build process,, keep EVERY Receipt you get, and lots of patience and luck,, REMEMBER they are there to make sure this vehicle isn't STOLEN,, and will do everything to find out if it is,, | ||
