[Dirty Harry]

I had the BMV tell me what VIN they wanted the car to be known by. They took the number off the Manufacturers Statement of Origin and altered the number slightly to make it have enough characters to conform to modern VIN standards. I mounted my VIN plate on the frame near the front suspension. I engraved the number in a few other places on the frame and major components. (Just like the mfg's. do) I had a police officer inspect the car and sign a form that confirmed that the VIN was securely attached to the car and no other VIN's appeared anywhere else on the car. I took my Manufacturers Statement of Origin, my receipts for parts, and my build book photos into the BMV and walked out with an application for title. Two weeks later, I had a title.
