Category: Larry and Cheryl’s Hot Rod Build

We were waiting for a police officer to inspect the VIN number. They came. We have our hot rod project registered in Nevada. We have the license plate. We are waiting for the title to be mailed to us from Carson City. We have progress.

We are waiting for a police officer to stop our house to sign off on a VIN verification. From there we can go to the Nevada DMV and transfer the title from Vermont to Nevada. We can also register our COE at the same time.

After that we can start work.

 

I hate waiting…….

In 2014 we bought this truck from a shop in Denver Colorado. We had it shipped to Las Vegas shortly thereafter. Due to space we stored for several months at a storage facility. When we had the room we moved it to our work location. Now the work starts.

First thing we will do is obtain a title, insurance and registration. Doing this will allow us to build a 1947 hot rod. If we do the build and then obtain the title, insurance and registration it will classified as the year we applied for the title, insurance and registration. Instead of a 1947 it will be a 2016 with all of the 2016 vehicle requirements.

So here we wait for the paperwork to be done. Since the government is involved we will wait longer than normal.

In the mean time we will get the truck running so it can be inspected by the DMV.

The good news out of all of this is that once we start tearing this down to actually start our build the engine and transmission and all of the running gear will be in working order – and for sale – everything will go except the frame and body and several other items but not much.

Truck in Colorado

Truck in Las Vegas Storage

Today, 2/5/2015 is the first day of this blog. Keep looking for additional posts as they are added. We are using a 1947 Chevy 2 ton cab over truck. We will be building a crew cab that will tip forward to work on the engine. It will have an old Caddy 501cui engine and a 700R transmission mounted on a sub-frame. The engine/transmission will be mounted mid-frame. We will have a trailer 5th wheel hitch so that we can pull a travel trailer and see the country. The cab you can see in the bed is the donor cab for building our crew cab.
