With all due respect, if you try that in Kansas, you might lose the car - and end up with a big fine and/or jail time. That's "title washing", and most states are familiar with it. In Virginia and most other states, it's a felony.

Good to know. It's tough in Virginia to get a VIN. I had to jump through hoops to get mine. Eventually I did, but the state police had to come to my house to attach the plate.

I know a lot of folks use these titling companies to register kit cars. Most that I know never have a problem, but I guess if you get caught it's hell to pay.

Kansas is one of the tougher places to do this

Unfortunately, many of the states are going the same route. PA implemented the same rules back in 2001 with a 46 page application for a title for a reconstructed vehicle (hotrod/steetrod/etc). I was lucky that I got in just before that became mandatory. My app was only 9 pages. Last year PA went to a specialized inspection for all reconstructed vehicle title apps, regardless of whether you built it or bought it. Now you have to have the vehicle inspected by a special licenced inspection station prior to recieving the title and again prior to putting the vehicle on the road. Whole process is one big pain in the butt.

Guess they want to make sure they get every tax cent they can out of you.
