Hi Zig,
I strongly recommend to clarify every detail (!) in advance. Speak to your local authorities, inform them about your plans and ask them what you really need (paperwork, documents, certificates, ......) to get your Belgian license plates. It would also be of help to have copies of the original US papers on hand. In addition to that it would be of great help to have any documents issued by the (kit) builder availabe proofing that the frame was built to accommodate a high HP/torque power plant (e.g. a Big block motor). Give them the feeling that they are important (they are .... without having their signatures your dream will not become true ....), be patient, ... and under no circumstances: offer them money or a free ride in your Cobra !!! These officers will never understand such jokes. Make them feel important !!!
Never finalize the deal with the original owner before having the papers & process approved by your local authorities.
Good luck !!!
Walter
