I'm getting close to being able to get my car titled and registered. I'm in Travis County in Texas. I know I have to get the ASE safety inspection and I have a place that can do that. I also know I need to get a certified weight on the car. The closest CAT weigh station seems to be about 35 miles from my house. I plan to register it as a custom vehicle to avoid the annual safety inspection requirements.

Is there any way to get a temporary tag permit on an FFR in Texas now so I could legally drive the car to the inspection and weight station? I can't seem to do it online without a 16 digit VIN, which of course, I don't have yet. Otherwise, did you other Texas guys just trailer the car to the inspection and weight station?

I have my insurance and after a few little things are complete, I'm ready to do this. I plan to drive it in gelcoat for a few months.
