texas title issues revisited

[RC3291]

What DMV office are you using so no one else goes there? Perhaps the key word here is "assembled" and not "homebuilt". You also want to title it as an assembled vehicle with custom plates.Was the frame truely homebuilt or was it manufactured by a kit manufacturer? If it was manufactured then a receipt/invoice (proof of ownership) and form VTR-63 component bill of sale for the frame, motor, and body are needed. VTR-68-A "application for assigned or reassigned number"and proof of ownership can get an assigned number that will need to be stamped on the component(s) per section 15 of the assembled vehicle manual. There is a fee for this.Pictures and other documentation (VTR-852 ASE inspection, VTR-68-N) are necessary but that should get you over the hump you are against. If it was actaully homebuilt you may be toast. Check the new manual out, the first couple of sections, section 4 and in your case section 15 might help. It is a lot better than the old 12-104 faq IMO. I can't get the link to the PDF but go to TXDMV.gov/motorists and on the lower right is a link to it.
