Customs Newbie Title question

I just followed the frame build here and have a question to the group.... If you build your own frame and piece together a customer 1932 roadster from swap meet pieces... How do you ***le it?

 

You can go the route of getting your DMV to issue a ***le for a new vehicle or buy a "historic do***ent." It's your choice whether you prefer the h***le or want to spend the $.

 

Do you mean you are building a car for a customer?

 

typo in that post..custom..not customer..

 

talk your local pals and see i know up here in IL we have a business that specializes in all your ***le needs for old cars. they get ya what ever is cheaper and easier.

 

Here in NM you get the state to issue a vin as a reconstructed vehical. It is illeagal in NM and I'm sure in a lot of states to use a purchased ***le (stamping a vin yourself is a BIG no-no), might get away with it but if they find out they will take your car away! Personally, I'd try do do it legal.

 

Every state is different...Someone from Texas needs to chime in on this

 

Try to find an old ***le that is similar to whichever frame you have and go from there. It is a rat race if you try to go through the DMV, or at least in Iowa it is. Let us know what you decide.

 

Yep get ahole of your state DMV. In AZ last year I ***led my 27 T as that no problem. Built my own frame scrounged up a body etc. Nothing had any ID numbers ,just showed up with the car and a big stack of recepits for various parts.But states vary and even by time of day !!! LOL

Now the fun part: you sell it, and the new owner gets caught after a bad accident.
Guess who owns the smoking wreck?
Guess who has to give the purchase price back?
Guess who owes his lawyer $10,000 for trying to keep him out of jail?
That's right.

 

What are you smoking?? I want some...

There are about 400,000 32 fords on the road today with ***les that were based on "historical do***ents" and you don't even have to stamp it into the rails. Just put a tag on the car with the number somewhere. Use your HF metal stamps and have a nice day. Now, if we include Model-T's and Model-A's, there's probably millions.

Always have your tag agent or dmv do a search to find out if the vehicle in the ***le is stolen, already issued, or has any liens on it. If it does, then don't use it to build your car, or don't buy the ***le in the first place.

 

Mad Max knows whats up. Thats the route I will always go. Very eazy.
