If I built a car for vintage/street from parts how may I register it
for street use?
Reply: I had the same situation. I asked the DMV in Pasadena what
the process is. The answer was: 1) where did the chassis come from?
they said I didn't build it and therefore it has a vin# and titled at
some point. i said I bought the chassis at a 'swap' meet with a bill
of sale that i lost years ago....
They indicated that the car had to go before the Highyway patrol
office to meet safety (lights, wipers, tires, sound, ....) if
inspected to be safe then there was a way to make a title for
the projet.

Funny thing is that one California DMV office may give one answer and
another (on the same day) will give a different answer. Moral to the
story: call as many DMV offices near your location and choose the
answer that is the least painful.
