Here's what I was told by VA DMV:

1. First you need to get a VIN. Send us the application, along with receipts for the body, frame, and motor, a photo of the car, a notorized statement telling how the car was constructed and the MSO.

2. When we send you the VIN, have a DMV officer attach it to your car.

3. Take an application for title, along with certification from the DMV officer that the VIN was attached to the car to your local DMV to obtain a title and registration - or mail it to us.

I did all of that. Today, I got the package back in the mail - rejected.

New instructions, send us back all the stuff we just returned, PLUS the following:

1. Receipt for the transmission.

2. Application for title.

3. Check for 3% of the cost of the parts .

First they tell me that I have to get the VIN, then the title & registration. Now, they tell me that I have to get the VIN and the title together.

This not only is different from what I was told in the first place, but it's contrary to the instructions on the forms.

However, rather than argue, I'm just going to comply. Small glitch, but I think it's going to work.
