Bob,
Title possibilities will depend on your state.  If a chassis number is requi=
red, they can assign one.  Texas used the motor number for cars older than 1=
955, except Fords. =20
You can save s lot of grief and tail-chasing by calling an auto title servic=
e, pay a reasonable fee($250 for me) and let them guide you.=20

BTDT,
Bill

Bob, I don=E2=80=99t remember us ever recording or using frame ref numbers. I=

There isn't one AFAIK. There might be a tag on top of the front cross member=
 (under the engine) but if its there, its just a series number or something l=
ike that. There is nothing to identify a particular frame.

Depends on the state, but most of them have a process for assigning a new vi=
n number to a car assembled from parts. The local DMV may not know much abou=
t it, but its there. And usually pretty easy, if you know how.
