Well, the good news is that you're in Santa Fe so that you can walk right into the state MVD office there to get whatever you need.

I plan or registering my Hurricane there in a few months. I called them first and they mailed me a check list of what's needed. They were specific that you needed an MSO for the body & frame, along with documentation on the origin of the engine & transmission. They also told me that there had to be a manufacturers I.D. plate on the frame somewhere. Hurricane rivets two on, but when you see them you'll swear that you could make them yourself.

I'd make a trip to the state HQ (without the car, for sure) to run the scenario by them so you don't end up with some hotshot impounding it on you.

Good luck,
Tom
