The police officer came to your house? Now that's service.

I was also a little surprised when he called me and said "when can I come inspect the car?"... He also thanked me for being able to inspect the car today... huh...you're welcome?

I'm happy you had better results than I did.

Back in 2001 when I finished my Lone Star Cobra, Nebraska did not have a provision for them, now they do. Either a "kit car" or "assembled vehicle" (like a home built trailer)

Before I even bought the kit I called our courthouse asking what I needed, and so everything should have been easy,.......not !
When I was finished, I called our local sheriff and she stopped by my house.
Lone Star is recognized by the state of Texas as a coach builder and even had a vin plate on the fire wall and MSO. She looked at all my paper work and said, "great car, go get her licensed".

The DMV was not,.... going to give me a title, as I needed one of either the engine, frame or body. I went to the Sheriffs office and told them what was going on. he went with me and told the DMV to give this man a title, but they told him the same story. So, I told the Sheriff that I would go home and look at a Hot Rod Magazine and see if I could find a junk yard that were selling titles, and he said, "I know what you mean, and go for it" !

I paid $100 for a 1966 Ford convertible title, rather than paying the tax's for my $40,000 Cobra. IDIOTS !

What paper work did you have to have ?

The inspector comes to your house in Virginia also. Mine spent more time gawking and drooling than inspecting. He offered to trade his cruiser for the Cobra.
