While at the tax office to get info on registering my 69 Bronco from Alabama, the ladies gave me info on registering a Street/Rat Rod.
Thought it may be helpful.
The short version....
Registration and Title Bulletin #004-12 Policy & Procedure 29MAR12
"Custom Vehicle" is defined as a vehicle manufactured before 1949; or after 1948 to resemble a vehicle that is at least 25 years old and of a model year after 1948; and has been altered from the manufacturer's original design, or has a body constructed from materials not original to the vehicle.
"Street Rod" is defined as a vehicle that was manufactured before 1949; or after 1948 to resemble a vehicle manufactured before 1949; and has been altered from the manufacturer's original design, or has a body constructed from materiasl not original to the vehicle.
Vehicle must pass an ASE safety inspection.
ASE Tech must complete and sign the Form VTR-852.
No fees for plate, but the annual registration and applicable local fees must be paid. Plates may be personalised for an additional $40 per year.
Vehicle must be branded as a "REPLICA", so the customer may need to apply for a corrected Texas title in order to obtain the REPLICA brand. (I think this only pertains to people selling rods)
Initial application for Texas title:
* Ownership documents for each major component (frame, motor, body)
* Form VTR-61 (Rebuilt Vehicle Statement)
* Verification of serial number or VIN of each major component. Acceptible verifications include pencil tracing or Form VTR-68-A
* Certified weight certificate
* Completed Form 130-U (App for Texas Certificate of Title)
* 3 photos (front, rear, side) and one photo of motor vehicle that it resembles
* Proof of liability insurance
Thats most of it. Sure there is more. Just thought this may be useful stuff.
