We are Street legal and insured! Advice for future builders - UTAH
The process to get registered took a few more visits to the dmv than I would like to admit, but the answer ended up being to go to a
state run dmv instead of the local county office.
Things you'll need:
-DF kit car MSO: call DFKC to get this when you're nearly done with assembly.
-Pictures of the Vin and a side/hood shot of the car. Whether or not you are using fenders, just set them on the wheels when you take some pics to make them happy; try to have your car as complete looking as possible.
-Your invoice/repeipt from DF Goblin (you should have this in an email) showing taxes have been paid
-A safety inspection: believe it or not, this isn't
technically required, but if you know a place that won't throw a fit about you not having a windshield wiper, and will overlook some of the nitty gritty safety inspection stuff, go ahead and get one. They cost $30 and will save you a lot of headache when getting your registration.
When they ask you what it is and how you want it registered, be open to their suggestions, but know that DF Kit Car is
not in the Utah system. I tried to get it added and failed (it did get added under ATV's though). Call the car a roadster. Since the "Make" isn't in their system, they can use code UUU as the make. This basically means unspecified. For the Model, they can put whatever they want. Mine went in as "DF Kit Car - Goblin."
If for whatever reason they deny your request or are being unreasonable, just go to a different
state run office. I had zero issues at the Hurricane State DMV office. I was in and out in 10 minutes.
