Default VIN tag and such

Glad to hear you are making it through the SB100 process. Fairfield CHP took the VIN # off the MSO issued by the kit company verified the VIN#, then made a small sheet metal tag that is to be rivetted to the frame of the car. The officer didn't have a drill or rivet gun so we agreed on location I promised to install the tag (which I did) and that was that. The officer was very interested in the car and was very helpful. I had my BAR inspection done at the Arco Arena Referee station in Sacramento. They did a great job but had problems with their printing machine (45 minutes on the phone with tech support). They then stuck the ugliest sticker you can imagine on the frame in the engine compartment. I guess the sticker is just another little gift from the state that brought us SB100. What's the latest on the registration process?

I can't believe I am still doing body work on my ride. I was having some problems with pin holes in the primer not filling right so we reshot the whole car with another heavy prime coat. I have just finished wet sanding it and have just filled about fifty pinholes. (200 less than the first prime coat). If I get a little time this coming week to wet sand the pin hole repairs it will go to paint. I am getting tired of body work and want to drive the damn thing, but I don't want anyone looking at the body and paint work and asking did you use Rustoleum?

I finally got that piece of paper from DMV. A Certified copy of my SB-100 Specially Constructed Vehicle Certificate of Sequence (SPCNS)

Mine happens to be 379.

What I don't understand is, my next appointment is with CHP this coming Wednesday. What VIN number are they going to attach to my car? DO they have the equipment to make some sort of a tag, and do they just make up a number based on the information I have provided them.

Many have said the process was easy. So far it has been, but I am trying to anticipate what is up ahead around the corner.
