Hi everyone, I just left the secretary of states office and I will put this here to help out anybody who will be going through the process next.
First and most importantly you will need the title of the donor car preferably in your name. They appreciate that the parts that came off of the donor car aren’t stolen.
Secondly you will need the MCO from DF kit car. There are no catches to this part and everything is self-explanatory.
Thirdly you will need a filled out TR 54 form from a local police officer. now on this form you will need to fill out sections one and two:
In the first section under vehicle identification number I put none because technically there is no VIN number assigned to it yet but the lady behind the counter asked if the chassis number that comes from DF should be there. We talked it over and both agreed that none or NA is acceptable.
In part two I had checked all the boxes except the box that stated you needed to outside mirrors for a half ton truck. I will cross that bridge when the inspector comes out about the windshield and windshield wiper
The fourth item that you will need is your invoice from DF showing what you paid for the kit. everything here is self-explanatory to the clerk.
The fifth item is a a written statement that I typed up and signed stating that I was the builder using parts and pieces from a kit and from a donor car. It didn’t have to be long just had to have a brief overview of what you are actually doing.
While I was there there was some questions regarding mileage and I ended up having to sign a odometer affidavit stating that the car has 109,000 miles but not actual miles on the chassis. I did find it weird that they only charged me the $25 title application fee and no taxes on the kit itself but I’m not gonna complain about that. I was told they are currently about eight weeks out to send an inspector from Lansing. The lady behind the counter was very nice and thanked me for being so well prepared in making her life easier.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to reach out and I will do my best to answer them
