June 21, 2004: Now that driving the car is looking like a possibility in the future, I called the Colorado DMV to find out what's involved in getting it licensed.
First, the Colorado DMV is extremely easy to reach and very helpful. I didn't have to wait at all! Unfortunately, it gets harder from here. I can't start the process until the car is street legal. Then it will be a 2-3 week process if I manage to get all my paperwork together. Most importantly, I need receipts for all the major components such as the engine, tranny, frame, body parts (I suspect they were picturing a slightly more complex car with that one) and rear end. I can easily get the receipts for the tranny and rear end. The engine will be a little more difficult as the core was bought from a junkyard at least 4 years ago. I realize now that I also have no receipt, MSO or any paperwork for the frame and body from CMC. Time to leave a message with them and see if they'll return it - I'm also waiting for my transmission cover. They haven't been too responsive lately.

The driver's seat is bolted in to place. I've got the placement of the pedals perfectly set. Now I just need to put in the gas pedal and make the steering wheel adaptor.
