You are in for an uphill battle with the State. Most States (not all) require documentation and extensive history, all notarized, on any vehicle that doesn’t have the original VIN plate affixed to the proper location with the proper fasteners. Many will make the process nearly impossible. If you haven’t already done so, contact the Department that issues titles directly. Tell them what you are trying to do and ask for the person handling those types of requests. Explain the history as you know it and ask what their procedure is. If they start talking frame numbers be prepared to educate them on when GM started putting frame numbers on their vehicles. Don’t get confrontational and be polite. You may end up with good results or you may get saddled with a “Builders Title”. But at least you will know exactly what you have to do before you make the trip.ðŸ›
