I have an old Chevy and couldn't find the numbers anywhere. To avoid all the problems that come with registration, I simply stamped the number off of my engine on the frame.... Called a policeman I knew and had him verify the number. Took it to DMV and the registration went right through. | I have an old Chevy and couldn't find the numbers anywhere.

I would suggest going to AAA to handle your paperwork, as they're on your side and want to make this process as easy as possible. Should there be any snags, as there were in my case, you're hopefully not in the state system enough to have to go to the CHP to verify things. I'd avoid them like the plague. At the very least its going to be a hassle. There are many title registration services in the Los Angeles area, I'd strongly suggest using one of them. It may be the best $150 or so that you spend, as in my case I never had to set foot in the dmv office and got everything taken care of within 2 weeks. | I would suggest going to AAA to handle your paperwork, as they're on your side and want to make this process as easy as possible.

First of all you need a bill of sale or receipts for all of the major components, body, frame, motor, transmission and or rear ends. They will accept an Ebay page showing you bought the things you say you did. If not a receipt, you have a statement of facts that you can fill out telling where you acquired the part, and how much you spent for it. | First of all you need a bill of sale or receipts for all of the major components, body, frame, motor, transmission and or rear ends.
