The car will be out of the paint shop on July 9th so I went to the California DMV today, June 18, 2018, to get the registration process started. To my great delight, it went better than expected! #9160 will be on the road in the not too distant future!

Had all the paperwork in hand and filled out as far as possible;

FFR Body and Chassis receipt
BluePrint engine and transmission receipt
FFR certificate of origin (not actually needed for this part)
California insurance card
REG 343 form
REG 5036 form

Paid lot’s of money to the fine (*******) politicians of the peoples republic of kalifornia.

But get this! I received an SB 100 number! What a score, I was sweating that one!
Plus, a 60 day operating permit, I can legally drive it on the road!
Plus all necessary paperwork to schedule appointments for CHP, BAR, and CARB inspections!

I am posting this because I have not seen a recent update on the registration process in California. I was sweating this part partly because of some of the stories I’ve heard and partly because there is no recent info posted. I’ll try and keep this thread updated as I progress in hopes of helping those who are coming after me.
