Talked to a guy last night about a project he has been working on for about 6 years that pretty well fits my ideal project, which he bought in progress at a swap meet about 2001. Long story short, it is a roller that needs to be finished - not drivable, and never titled. Kansas will title home builts, but the rules to protect against using stolen parts are very strict - OEM receipts for anything bought outright like frame & body, chassis parts, etc (even little stuff from the local auto parts); and salvage title links to anything coming from another vehicle, like engine, tranny, differential, etc. As you can expect, this guy has kept no receipts - none!

I hate to pass on a deal like this, but I also don't want to spend the $$$ on something that I will never be able to title. Does anyone have any experience that might give me an avenue to get a legal title in this situation?
