Not exactly!
There are some modifications to those instructions (since they were almost acurate for registrations in 2003). DMV is far more versed with different kits, replicas, rollers, turnkeys etc. By make and brand. They now have a binder with photos of different kits, pallets etc.
You can no longer buy and FFR for $11,000 and do all the work and show up and insist on paying taxes on what you have recepits for. Even if you did all the work yourself.
The new registration application is diferent this year and I belive it asks for the value of labor to finish. Makes no distinction betwen yours or someone else's.
Rather than give erroneous information, may I suggest you look up the information for yourself, right there at California DMV yourself.

Towards the top of the page under VEHICLE REGISTRATION there is a link marked "click here to proceed". Click there.
That will open another page labeled "VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS AND TITLE INFORMATION" Third one from the bottom is "Home-Made, Specially Constructed, or Kit Vehicles" Click on that.
You will be where you can get all the information first hand.
