I was under the impression that you could not register a BIW
maybe it depends on the state quad?

Basically you can do it like a kit car.01 Venom said:
I have already spoken to Florida DOT in regard to this car:
(b) No person shall knowingly offer for sale, sell, or exchange a rebuilt vehicle until the department has stamped in a conspicuous place on the certificate of title for the vehicle words stating that the vehicle has been rebuilt or assembled from parts, or is a kit car, glider kit, replica, or flood vehicle unless proper application for a certificate of title for a vehicle that is rebuilt or assembled from parts, or is a kit car, glider kit, replica, or flood vehicle has been made to the department in accordance with this chapter and the department has conducted the physical examination of the vehicle to assure the identity of the vehicle and all major component parts, as defined in s. 319.30(1)(e), which have been repaired or replaced. Thereafter, the department shall affix a decal to the vehicle, in the manner prescribed by the department, showing the vehicle to be rebuilt.
Section "E" mentioned above states :
e) "Major component parts" means:
1. For motor vehicles other than motorcycles, the front-end assembly (fenders, hood, grill, and bumper), cowl assembly, rear body section (both quarter panels, trunk lid, door, decklid, and bumper), floor pan, door assemblies, engine, frame, transmission, and airbag.

Yeah, that the way I understand it too. That's the way most of the 67-69 Camaro/67 Mustang Fastback bodies are going to be titled...like a kit car. Nice thing about building one for yourself from the ground up like that is that you know exactly[\b] what is in the car, and the quality of the work done.

Not a rattle or squeak in it and everything works.
Every part installed by hand.

Thats all well and good, I would never knock the fact that you built a quality car yourself. Trust me I am all for working and perfecting your own car. But the cruel reality is, you will not ever make it into a "real" cobra.
You see the same thing with classics, you take a 6 banger and make it an SS, right down to the smallest detail. You can not sell or claim it to be an SS because it simply isnt.

True, but I am still putting the snake emblems on it.01 Venom said:

But Ford didn't build it on the assembly line.Sprayed_Pony said:
This stuff kind of cracks me up.
I probably spent enough to buy almost 2 Cobras developing this car,
and it's not even finished yet.
All hardware and parts are Genuine Ford (99% are new)
except for the upper intake and a couple other minor items.
Either way, Cobras are cool, Mach 1's are cool, Cobra "R"'s are cool, etc.
It's not a Mach 1, it ain't a GT, not a V6.
The only engine that has ever run in the car is the 5.4 32V.
The only interior it ever had was Cobra (last of the FRPP seats).
To me, it's a Cobra.
