    2899521 is legal in TX today

    Paid my tax, got my tags, I'm legal in TX today :^). Lots of work left to do, but once I get an alignment I'll be in "cruising and working" mode, rather than just "working" mode. I started the process on Friday (insurance) got my inspection done on Saturday, and I'm legal today. Man, I love Texas. The registration process for my 427 took 2 1/2 months in NJ.

    Unique makes one heck of a product. While I have a lot left to do on the car before it's "done" I went from deluxe pallet to mechanically complete, drivable and legal in just about 4 months working a couple of nights a week, an average of 4-5 hours per weekend. That includes building my own engine, doing my own wiring and gauges, and several fits and starts due to my own errors in mis-ordering parts.

    Alan- Thanks much for your help, and thanks in advance for the help I'll undoubtedly need in the future ;^). Unique motorcars has a lot to be proud of.

    All the best,
    Chris

    I'm glad to hear everything has gone well for you, especially the registration process. How did they title it, what year and so on?

    Hi Alan - they titled me as a '64 Shelby. I had to go to a couple of different places before I found one that knew how to register what I was bringing to them, but it ended up working out!

    I hope Shelby doesn't find out, he will want a royalty check.
