Wait until you tell them you have a new crate motor and they ask you what car it came out of , when you tell them it is a crate motor and it is new they don,t understand that and argue with you that it must of came out of some car ? when you get done with that , then see what happens when you tell them about your new crate trans and you do not have a Bill of Sale from some JUNK YARD . It just get better and better .

That has not been a problem at all so far. The Nicholas person in the SOS office understood all the "crate" purchase, as documented by bills of sales and such, and the State police person I spoke with said "no problem , we'll take care of it" when I told him our Pond block had no serial number... I hope for everybody sake that I'm not just lucky and that everybody can get that same good treatment. We'll see Tuesday.

Russ, I'll PM you my email.

After dealing with Nicholas for 3 1/2 months I must have been one of his first custom built title vehicles. He had all of my receits for a factory crate motor and transmission. I then spent several minutes on the phone with him trying to explain that they did not come out of any car. I started last October and my title is dated 3-15-12. The car is titled as a 1967 Cobra, not a Shell Valley. I would say from your posts and several others that he is starting to get the hang of what his job is. It would have been much less frustrating if he would have told me he was learning how to do this job. Typical bureaucrat. I can only hope that the process continues to be less problematic. My tax penalty for being 14 days late on filing the ST44 was only $75 but I was never told of any time limit on filing this form from any DMV or SOS employees.
