Hello All,
The Missouri DMV office at the capital office got back to me, And it looks like as soon as it is driving I can bring it to be inspected. As long as I bring it there without body panels they will register it as a "Highway Dune Buggy"
Which will exempt it from needing windshield wipers and even a windshield if I did not want one. Once things move along a bit further I can get the actual inspection done and I will update as needed.

So here are the steps you need to do.
1: Go to your local DMV and buy the form 551 inspection form $27.50
2: Schedule your Highway Patrol inspection (Must be the Highway Patrol not a normal shop inspection) For me they did not check much of anything except the VIN number on the engine and transmission to match with my donor title.
3: Highway Patrol will give you completed 551 form. Keep this
4: Go to DMV and get an "Application for Missouri Title and License"
5: Bring or Mail application for title all receipts for donor/kit and 551 form to Jefferson City DMV. ( If you go there you can apply for a title and VIN at the same time. If you mail it in you have to wait for the DMV to assign title, Then you can apply for VIN)
** If you drive to Jefferson City and do the paperwork in person bring a check you will pay the applicable taxes at this time.
6: Highway patrol will call you to say VIN plate is ready. (Trailer car back up to HP inspection station for them to permenantly attach the new VIN to the frame)
7: Once VIN is attached you can get plates / insurance and tear up the roads!
