Finaly get to build a FFR

[GFX2043mtu]

About done polishing the last of the swirl marks out. I just about forgot how long it takes to color sand down to 2000 grit before polishing. I’ll finally have the body back on the chassis for good tomorrow. Then the fun begans with registering it in Michigan. Does any one know about how long it takes the SOS to get the vin for the car from the time I turn in the inspection paperwork?

Once you complete the TR-54 Inspection Form and turn it in with all the other paperwork (receipts, MSO, application for title, taxes due, etc.) they officially say to allow 8 to 10 weeks for processing the new title. My #8674 Roadster last year was just short of 8 weeks before they called and brought over the title and VIN tag. Then you can go back to the SOS and complete the registration and get your plate. You need proof of insurance at that point. Then you're legal and can drive. Note they no longer will give you a temporary plate while waiting for the title and VIN. They used to... Note also they don't do these very often so your local SOS may be pretty ignorant about the process. Study the materials on the SOS website (https://www.michigan.gov/documents/B...3__83315_7.pdf) and have everything exactly in order, copies made, and know what you're doing. It helps. Good luck.
