Try another DMV. I titled and registered my kit with just the MSO and the receipt from the manufacturer. I had to pay DMV the tax on the kit price. Never asked me about any engine numbers, other components, if it was running or even completed. I'm in Pinellas County. They registered it as a 1965. From what I understand, some offices handle it differently than others. Also I was told that the DMV doesn't like the word kit, but will accept replica more easily.
