If you have more money than brains, then do it any way you like. If however you are a fairly intelligent human being you'll just title it the legally way, get in, turn the key and drive the heck out of it.........

So what states like you mentioned, have state police officers/members going through forums in seach of individuals trying to go around their state's proper titling procedure?
I wouldn't worry about it. But I guess that means according to Bill S that I have "more money then brains" and am not a "fairly intelligent human being" There are ao many absurd and illogical state/national laws for minor things, and gaping holes for major ones, but lets not get started

OP, I hope you find an easy way to title your car, keep us up to date (or don't if you are worried about the state Po-Po )

CT has a Model Year registration law for all types of kit cars, the vehicle year is the same year the vehicle most closely resembles. All kit cars, whether self constructed or turn key, have the Make name of Composite, even if previously registered out of state with a different make year and name. Title reads the same way.

As an example: 1965 Composite

It seems that Ohio is one of the states that has created a channel for the registration of specially constructed vehicles such as the Kirkham. California has done the same with Senate Bill 100. My Kirkham, 625, is registered as a 2009 SPCNS. It is great to live in a state that understands the value of registering these cars; work with them.

Not police, but State Attorneys from California and Connecticut are guaranteed and confirmed here (officers of the DMV/MVS from several others)........Cars being impounded while paperwork/titles are confiscated, just the ones I have personal knowledge over, both those states, PA, NJ, DC, Texas, , South Carolina, North Dakota, Georgia, and yes, Ohio (all kit car related)......Again, you live in Ohio, follow your state laws and be done with it.
