Greetings Folks:

Went to CHP this morning to get the assigned vin applied to the car. i was a little worried since I did not have a mco or mso from CRL. I only had a bill of sale from the person I got the kit from. But, I did have most all the pull tags and little documents that were placed on or in bags of stuff from CRL. I was just hoping all this would show where it all started from. And it did, the officer did not question any aspect of that at all.

I then began to sweat bullets when he asked about receipts for motor and the motor id number. But after short discussion we fired up my laptop, and came to this build thread and fortunately enough way back I posted the casting numbers and the block id number on this thread. he took that info from this thread and went in the office to run the theft report. It all came back clean and he assigned the tag on firewall and signed off all the documents he needed to. He was satisfied that all my statements of fact were ok and he really liked me having this build thread. I also had the assembly manual and he looked at some of my photos on this thread and compared them to the photos in the manual and felt comfortable with the approval.

This confirms the legal aspect that diaries and log entries can be considered as legal evidence as long as they are a consistent pattern. With my 5 months of enties that showed a consistent pattern and believeable.

Next stop the BAR, then brake and lamp, then to DMV. I know it aint over but maybe on downhill side of the registration title process.
