Tuck, what did you have to go through to get it registered here in SC? I have been to the DMV a few times looking for answers and they have been less than helpful on the subject, I called my local DMV inspector and he was also not too helpful.
HI Brian! Are you planning on titleing you car as a Locost or using the title from your donor?

I'm planning on registering it as a locost since I really didn't use many bits from my donor.
Hi Brian! You can go to the SCDMV website and download Form 401-A which is for the DMV to assign a serial number for the frame. This process takes ablut 30 days and there is no fee for it. The instuctions are on the form, also when the serial number comes back from the DMV there will be a letter with instuctions on what to do next. They will request receipts for the major components engine,transmission, rearend ect.. I just made a list of all of the components in a letter format and they accepted it that way. They will want some pictures of the car as well. After you get the serial number you have to affix it to the car in a permanent fashion. I used a plate for locosts that I found on ebay. You will have to take the car to your local DMV and the guy that inspects trailers will have to look at the serial number to make sure that it is correct, and he signs off on that. The last part will be to go to the tax accessers office and pay the property tax for the car. The taxes for mine were $127.00. After all of this is submited they will send you a title. At that time you will be able to go to the DMV and get the tags and registration. I hope that this helps and good luck. If you would let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks, Tuck
PS My car is titled as a 2009 Locost Super Seven Roadster.
