Good luck with that, Pastor. You might pull it off if you have a clear Kansas title and they don't know that you have any later model (less than 30 years old) powertrain components or that it's been "modified". Safest way in Kansas is to register it as an antique before you start building anything different, or you can be tagged as a current year "ASEV" (assembled specialty equipment vehicle), sales taxed on every nut, bolt & washer and property taxed as a new car based on your total costs. In this end of the state it is very, very difficult to get around the DMV.

i asked about a permit so i can legally drive it from my home to the wiegh station and then to the dmv.
she said i can pick one up anytime
they are free and good for 8 hours.
Billy, sounds like Colorado's process is the same as Kansas, and you're running the gauntlet per the rules. It'll be a good feeling to get that registration for the first time. Hope your tax hit is not too big. Will Colorado register you as a 1927 Chevy or do they do the "assembled vehicle" game too?
