He probably sobered up and thought “What the hell did I just do?” after reading his posts. Now he is too embarrassed to show back up.
The above was probably the crunch. Absent a clear title, most states now require you to have documented proof that any parts were acquired from legitimate sources. Hand-written receipts from Joe Blow on CL or a swap meet or an eBay invoice generally won't cut it. This is aimed more at salvage vehicles to slow down the chop shops but also protects us, making it a bit harder to 'disappear' a stolen rod by reducing it to sub-assemblies. Some states are harder-nosed about it than others, even some inspectors will be more pissy than others. This is why any vehicle I buy with no title is a parts car....
Not if he would have registered it as a historic vehicle or put year of manufacture plates on it.... All he needed to do is have a local police officer come to his house and do a Vin verification.. because it is an out of state title.. They don't need safety inspection... If it's a Missouri title you don't need anything..
I chalk this up to being another case of an OP not doing their required homework ahead of time and that means from day one when the first major part was bought. A few things; Get a binder and some page specs for a build book. All receipts , bills of sale and other proof that you legally own that part go in that book. That also includes photo copies of any title for a donor rig that you bought to harvest parts and sold the hulk to a scrap yard along with the papers from the srap yard. That's called organized documentation. If you are afraid oof your wife finding out what you spent on it you can't afford it anyhow. I have to agree that being able to pass the NSRA safety check usually will get you through most states safety inspections. Then you get into specific states requirements due to the simple fact that there have been too many screw up in some respect or aspect of rebuilding or assembling cars in the past. In this state it is on frames that have been welded up from scratch. They have to be welded by or passed by a certified welder. The reason= too many scab welded frames. As far as ding with the state usually it's to deal with someone higher up on the food chain.
Excuse me......care to elaborate? I pride myself on never having had any issues with my hand written receipts.
Ask lots of questions before you go? Ask SPECIFIC questions dude, there are people on here that can help you out. Cryptic scribblings will just get cryptic humorous responses. By the way, you can get your own copy of the ORC, just like the inspectors had. Go here, where you'll find all the writed (writhen)requirements for self builded vehicles. https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-administrative-code/chapter-4501-33 Thanks for doing your part...... He probably won't show up for a while. He's been a member for 11 years, with 43 postings. One every three months so don't hold your breath.
I would like to see a "Service Technician" check the rear brakes on my '29 Model A that still has the mechanical brakes. I do not think they would even have a clue as to how to remove the drum.
Only one other past tense left.....and we don't want to go down that road....although one of it's multiple meanings fits into this forum.
