It's for sure the wrong forum

Someone from Ky will have to advise you as every state has a different procedure. Now with that unless Ky trains their clercks more effectively than most it will depend on who you talk to at a state office. Talking to the builders locally who have done it is your best info. Good luck with it and welcome to the board.

Sorry about the forum

But yeah the clerks here I think had a hard time passing kindergarten!!!! I have seen a couple places online saying that they will help you get a title or can get you a title built or whatever they case may be but I assume that they will charge you an arm and a leg!!!

It is very hard to get a title in Kentucky, they have some very strange registration policies as well. Even if you get all that worked out the inspections are a headache as well.

First thing to do is check your local DMV web site. Your answer should be listed on what is required.

So does this sound doable? All the sheet metal should have matching vins but the frame and motor wont. Any input?

 

[26Troadster]

the reason for alabama is no titles till 75. the sheet metal on something older then late 80's should not have numbers on fenders, hoods, are other things just the main body. if it has a complete body then they shouldn't check the frame unless the numbers are on the frame, if that is the case then stamp the frame.

Check out the SEMA website as they have links for all the states and help for those needing a title.
