Hello everyone, I've been reading here for a few months but just decided to register as I have a question that I could use help with. I hope that me posting it in this section is OK as it is sort of about the frame....sort of.
I'll try to keep this brief. I always wanted to build a T bucket so a few months ago I thought that I would get started and try to knock it out this winter. I started watching the classifieds and Craigs List for something to start with. I eventually discovered an ad that had a guy selling what looked to be an old Speedway frame and some assorted parts at a pretty good price. He had bought it off of someone else in the 90's and was going to build the car but apperently never got around to it. It sat in his garage for 15 years and finally he decided to to sell it. Enter me.
I purchased the frame, rearend, and some misc. parts with a notorized bill of sale. I started on the project and kept every receipt for everything that I bought for it. Since the car is almost done, I thought that I would start checking on requirements for a title. Everything that the car needs is OK once I add a windshield wiper and a few small details. The problem is that they said that I need a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin (MCO) for the frame. I tried to explain things to them but got nowhere. After contacting the guy that I bought it off of, he informed me that he didn't even remember the name of the guy that he bought it off of and has no records that even get close to that long ago. I am at a standstill and really don't know what I should do. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated. Oh, I am in Ohio if that matters.
Thanks for your help, Cuestick
