Yeah, it varies depending on what state you are in. I'm in Arkansas and I'm building a car from scratch, as in starting with a pile of stainless tubing. I have a title. I could have a license plate if I put insurance on it. I'm not ready yet.

In general, if you're building a vehicle from a kit or from purchased parts, you will get a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin on the frame. Depending on your state, that and maybe a picture or some receipts will get you a title. Registration after that sometimes involves an inspection.

Lots of people in Oz build cars like I'm building. They would know exactly how to go about getting a title there. Search for "Locost" or "Locost Seven" in Oz. Oz has more inspections than we do, including the need for an engineer to sign off on the frame. If you start with a pre-built frame, you will probably be ahead. I also think it varies a little depending on what part of Oz you are in.
