I know you have to get it inspected by the highway patrol under the following section, but I don't know where you go from there. I suppose you just take the inspection certificate to a title office. :confused:

§ 4505.111. Inspection of vehicle assembled by person other than manufacturer

(A) Every motor vehicle, other than a motor vehicle as provided in divisions (C), (D), and (E) of section 4505.11 of the Revised Code, that is assembled from component parts by a person other than the manufacturer, shall be inspected by the state highway patrol prior to issuance of title to the motor vehicle. The inspection shall include establishing proof of ownership and an inspection of the motor number and vehicle identification number of the motor vehicle, and any items of equipment the director of public safety considers advisable and requires to be inspected by rule. A fee of forty dollars in fiscal year 1998 and fifty dollars in fiscal year 1999 and thereafter shall be assessed by the state highway patrol for each inspection made pursuant to this section, and shall be deposited in the state highway safety fund established by section 4501.06 of the Revised Code.

Thanks, I'll look into this more!

Hmmmmm. Maybe I should have put up the rest of the section . . . .

§ 4505.111. Inspection of vehicle assembled by person other than manufacturer

. . .

(B) Whoever violates this section shall be fined not more than two thousand dollars, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

I bet the State highway would love to take a look at your buggy. They seem to become extremely picky as each year passes.

I went through all that when I put the glass body on, it was no big deal. Take it to the HP, they can inspect it check all of your receipts and treat it like any other kit car.

Be careful on the year you choose in case we go back to that e check crap for those that might want to plate their ride.

This is what state highway asked me. Do you have a windshield, turn signals, brake lights, full width bumpers, no hydraulic steering, frame height legal? Insurance agent looked at it yet? Tickets were given to one fella for tires outside the wheel wells and for simulated beadlocks.

[WrenchMonkey]

They really asked about beadlocks?

I was starting to think that was an urban legend. Everybody heard about them being "illegal," but no one had any actual, firsthand experience...

I'm confused after your reply about the beadlocks....did somebody from the highway patrol actually ask any of these questions or is this just what you think they would ask.

The reason is that there are no mention of several of those items in the Ohio regulations. There is no mention of beadlocks, nor is there any specific tire coverage law in Ohio, and not sure about the hydraulic steering but I'm guessing it is not specifically addressed.
