I'm trying to figure out how I would get a ***le for a completely home built rod. There is no specific donor. Starting from scratch with no numbers to go on how do you guys do it? I live in Tennessee I've emailed the state registration office and haven't gotten any replies yet not to say they aren't coming, but curiosity is killing the cat here.
Try a google search with "specially constructed vehicle Tennessee" lots of info including links to your DMV.
Dont go reconstructed. Just buy a ***le Your in for a lot of headaches.Youll need seatbelts .pollution pump, catalytic converters And anything alse a new car is equipped with. When choosing a ***lle if the car is a one off.Pick something odd.Alot of cops weren't born when your car was constructed.
I just found on a rod magazine website anyone heard anything from it yet? "Tennessee Custom Vehicles: SAN legislation to create a vehicle registration and ***ling cl***ification for custom vehicles was p***ed by the Tennessee Senate and was pending House consideration when the legislature adjourned. The measure defined a custom as an altered vehicle over 25 years old or manufactured to resemble a vehicle 25 years old or older. Under the bill, kit cars and replica vehicles would have been ***igned a certificate of ***le bearing the same model year designation as the production vehicle it most closely resembles. The bill exempted customs from periodic vehicle inspections and emissions inspections and from a range of standard equipment requirements. The legislation also provided for a one-time registration fee of $25, valid as long as you own the custom vehicle. SAN is working with legislators to have the bill reintroduced in 2007."
Dept of Revenue ***le and registration legislative updates from the Revenue Review paper a couple of months ago.... > Custom built cars Public Chapter 765 defines a custom built car as a motor vehicle that is built for private use and is not constructed by a licensed manufacturer or re-manufacturer. This chapter also provides that a custom built car for which no certificate of ***le has ever been issued may be ***led as the make, model and year it most closely resembles. This chapter also requires that the certificate of ***le clearly identify the car as a replica. Effective date: April 21, 2008 So, maybe you should just go see you county court clerk(the license plate guy/gal) for more info
I read something about this a while back, I think in Street Scene, rolleyes: I know). I'd love to know if anyone has actually done this and how big of a PITA it is. I've heard the "historic do***ent" route is easiest but seems a little shadey. We really need to learn more about this "Tennessee Custom Vehicles" registration.
