All I had to show at DMV was a bill of sale from NV seller, NO receipts of any kind needed since car was fully built. I got my SB100 certificate in mail last week (not sure why it took most of you about 30 days to get yours), and already did the CHP inspection last week. Again, I told them car was fully built when I bought and CHP asked me for no documents for parts. My BAR appt is Tue (I made it on Friday, there is NO wait for BAR appt. contrary to prior years). I will let everyone know how that goes next week. Anyway, DMV completely ignored the NV registration in terms of year, they assigned year of my car as 0000, and the CHP used the FF frame number as my VIN, NO tag was put on car since the FF number was easy to see.

Anyway, so far so good.

Congrats on getting your SB100 sequence number! Also good news for those who are still looking for a sequence number. Just shows that you should not be deterred if one DMV office tells you there are no sequence numbers left.
