Please keep us posted on the developments with your dilema. I had heard from some reliable sources that the DVM was going to be cracking down on replicas...hope this works out for you!

From what I understand, the FIRST step you take is to get your insurance card written with the year and make of car you want the title to say...then you take it to be inspected and make sure the inspection report specifies year/make exactly as the insurance card....then you take all that to the county courthouse to apply for the title, along with all your receipts...this is the first I've heard of the issue you've encountered.
